But the real trigger here are the Braindance sequences. Without spoiling Cyberpunk 2077 too much, it’s basically sequences that put you in a detective mode of sorts. And the way you enter this mode is to have your character put on a headset that flashes lights into your eyes. This is, incidentally, the same way medical doctors use to induce an epileptic seizure for diagnostic purposes. And then there are the multiple layers within the Braindance sequence, each with their own version of the flashing, glitching red lights mentioned before.
Ruppert cites her monitor that sports an “eye-saving mode” that reduces blue lights, which helped dampen the triggers for her. And in prolonged Braindance sequences, she had her husband around for in case anything happened.
So for those who are diving into Cyberpunk 2077 this weekend, it’s definitely something to keep in mind. All in all, it can be a bummer if you do suffer from epileptic seizures. And chances are there’s nothing much you can do about these sequences aside from taking frequent breaks in between. They are, after all, a pretty major part in the whole cyberpunk theme.
