While the concept and unfolding are appreciated, many feel the game falls short of its full potential in storytelling.

    • “The story is engaging and provides a complex narrative to accompany the gameplay.”
    • “The game has an amazing story and is worth playing purely on that factor alone.”
    • “The story was perfectly written; the emotions got to me and experiencing it while being blindfolded is insane!”
    • “Story rating is 4.5/10.”
    • “The idea is 10/10 and the sound system was great, but in my opinion, a game like this needed a better story with more depth.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -50% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The graphics offer simple, minimal visual aids like arrows and circles to enhance streaming and gameplay, but they lack detailed environmental cues such as walls. This design encourages players to rely more on audio cues, balancing visual support with immersive sound-based gameplay.

    • “You can also stream some visuals for others to watch.”
    • “For those who are sighted or want to stream it, there are small visuals you can bring up to engage your fans.”
    • “Basically, the visuals that get added are an arrow for your character, a circle for your goal, and feet for the avoided individual.”
    • “Basically the visuals that get added are an arrow for your character, a circle for your goal, and feet for the avoided individual.”
    • “However, it doesn't list where things like walls are so even if you decide to try and cheat it by using the visuals, it'll help some but you'll still have to rely on your ears by the end which makes you get used to just using your ears.”
    • “For those who are sighted or want to stream it, there are small visuals you can have brought up to engage your fans.”
