You get insanity in real life when you don't get the stuff you need in your mind. Think of your brain like a GIANT machine. If you give the machine power, it will work. If you don't give it enough power it wont work correctly. If the brain doesn't get the power, it wont work. You can tell what stuff is because your brain automatically to stuff you've seen in past experiences. Without the power it needs the brain will start to lose memory, meaning you won't know what stuff is, So the brain will compare it to one of the few things you DO know of. The brain can't be 100% accurate, or even close, when it doesn't have the power it needs, So it will come up with the closest thing. Just like your brain your eyes won't have the power they need and you will start to see things that aren't really there. The shadows that people see in the game can't hurt you in real life, But you can still see them. Your eyes don't have all the energy they need to see the colors and tell your brain what they are accurately. You won't be able to tell what the color is because your eyes wont have the energy to tell what color it is or to send the message to the brain, or the nerve endings might not get there. Without energy, the nerve endings, which are pretty much messengers that go from every place in the body, mostly your brain, and either sends a message or takes a message to take to another body part won't move. Without the energy the nerve endings that are taking the message of what color something is to your brain so you know that it is that color won't move and you won't know because the message didn't get to your brain so you would have to assume that it is no color, because nothing is telling you it is. This is what your brain does automatically. The only color that is not really a color but the absence of color itself is black, so your brain tells you it's black. Your brain doesn't know what a random black spot would be because you have never had any experiences with something just randomly black in a random location, and even if you have you would have probably forgotten about it, You have no clue what it is. Your brain does not know if it is harmful but automatically assumes that it is, for your own survival. So those shadows that attack when the sanity level goes down are not real, they are just, in real life, A trick of the eyes, the nerves, and the brain
