The graphics include simple visual cues like arrows and circles to aid players and streamers, but lack detailed environmental visuals such as walls. This minimalist design means players ultimately rely more on audio cues than graphics for gameplay.
- “For those who are sighted or want to stream it, there are small visuals you can have brought 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.”
- “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.”
