    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.”
