If anyone is interested in a taste of what that might be like, the recent game "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" is very impressive. It's basically a psychosis simulator, developed under heavy consultation from a group of patients that suffer from psychosis/delusions.
Similar to how you mentioned it's not just the hallucinations, the game does things like using "find the perspective that makes those logs look like a rune/glyph" to prime/encourage the plater to see potential "deeper meanings". Headphones are required, because binaural recording techniques are used very heavily to e.g. place voices in specific locations "in" and around your head.
Warning: this recommendation includes a very strong trigger warning re: grief, mental and physical abuse, and (obviously) the very graphic realities of severe psychosis and other mental health issues.
