The main character of hourglass has an illness called schizophrenia which involves delusions and hallucinations. There can be negative symptons such as them being unemotional, unsociable and unable to concerntrate.
The main character has no name so she is known as The Lady. The character is all alone in a empty house where she has to solve puzzles to escape but there is an hourglass timing her, and when time runs out she thinks she is trapped forever. So the process of her trying to solve the puzzles goes on and on and the hourglass is reset by The Lady. However solving these puzzles are not as easy as they seem especially not when things creep on out and make you more delusional.
