Dissociative Identity Disorder 

Formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Dissociative Identity Disorder is a complex dissociative disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states with amnesia between them. Each personality is it's own individual person and may have different names, memories, personal histories, and characteristics.

It is currently believed that DID forms due to structural dissociation. When humans are below the ages of 7-9, we do not have a stable or integrated self/personality, and instead have parts. There is a part that craves love, a part that wants food, a part that is sad, etc etc. (This is why babies will go from crying to laughing in seemingly a few seconds.) When we reach the age of roughly 7-9, these parts, along with our experiences will integrate into one, whole personality. However, if a child experiences severe and repetitive trauma before this age, and does not have stable relationships with their primary caregivers (Parent(s), etc) then the brain will put up amnesic walls as a way to protect itself from the memories of the terrible things that have/are happening, and these walls prevent the personality from integrating, which results in the parts staying separate.

Contrary to popular belief and media representation, people with DID are not evil, nor dangerous. They are traumatized individuals who are more likely to hurt themselves than anyone else, and many have gone on to live happy, successful lives.
"Did you hear about Mary? She was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder."

Identity V 

A 4v1 game where there are 4 survivors and 1 hunter where the hunter is supposed to chase the survivors who are trying to escape but in actuality a lot of the time the survivors are the actual hunters (prospector, forward, enchantress and the other harasser type characters etc).
Also a game where "Thank You" translates to "Fuck You" 90% of the time (it's mostly used sarcastically).
You know you've played Identity V too much when you second guess people's intentions for a split second when they say Thank You.
