Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don't struggle to maintain internal maps in real life or in games that are intentionally disorienting, so your mileage

I also have aphantasia, so perhaps that's somehow related? I don't physically create a map in my head, I just have an innate sense of where things should be after familiarizing myself with a particular area.
Perhaps since I don't physically create a map in my head, the disassociation between what is expected and what is actually happening in front of me for games like that doesn't create the same level of cognitive dissonance? Just spitballing here haha.
- joshspankit 4y agoI am excited for a time when we have easier language for talking about those nuances. Aphantasia may indeed be related! It may be the direct reason, or it may be one small piece of a larger puzzle that we’re barely scratching the surface of!
