About

Cling to Blindness is a single player action game. It was developed by Lizardry and was released on November 7, 2025. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

Have you ever played a game without any visuals and just sound alone? And on top of that what if you had to wear a blindfold while playing it? Cling to Blindness is a horror game played entirely by sound, requiring you to navigate the world blindfolded.  The playtime is roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, and the level of fear is relatively low and is accessible even for those who don't usually enjoy horror…

  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its compelling and unique story, which unfolds as players progress, making it a standout feature that often overshadows its horror elements. Despite its brevity, the narrative is emotionally impactful and well-executed, with strong voice acting that enhances the experience. Overall, it is highly recommended for fans of thought-provoking storytelling.

    • “The game features a unique story that unfolds as you progress.”
    • “I'd definitely recommend it for fans of horror and a good, thought-provoking story!”
    • “The story was perfectly written; the emotions got to me, and all while being blindfolded is insane!”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, primarily controlled with the mouse, yet it effectively incorporates various mechanics that enhance the experience. While straightforward, the gameplay serves as a metaphor for deeper themes, such as avoidance and fear, which adds depth beyond its horror elements.

    • “The surprisingly adds a lot of mechanics to spice up the simplistic gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it's simple - you control your character only with the mouse.”
    • “The gameplay is simple but incredibly effective.”
    • “Though I will say its story and unique gameplay far outshines its horror.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature minimal visual aids, such as an arrow for the character and a circle for the goal, which can enhance engagement for sighted players. However, the lack of detailed environmental indicators, like wall placements, necessitates reliance on auditory cues, ultimately promoting a gameplay experience that emphasizes sound over visuals.

    • “The visuals that are added include an arrow for your character, a circle for your goal, and feet for the avoided individual, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.”
    • “For those who are sighted or want to stream the game, there are small visuals that can be brought up to engage your fans, making it visually appealing.”
    • “The graphics are designed in a way that encourages players to rely on their ears, creating a unique blend of visual and auditory gameplay.”
    • “The visuals that are added are minimal, consisting of just an arrow for your character, a circle for your goal, and feet for the avoided individual.”
    • “The game fails to provide essential visual cues, such as the location of walls, which means players often have to rely on audio cues instead.”
    • “For those who are sighted or want to stream the game, the limited visuals may not be engaging enough to attract or retain an audience.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game to be a mix of lightheartedness and dark comedy, often comparing it to a "knock knock" joke—easy and somewhat predictable. The comedic elements can be enhanced by social interactions, as seen when friends playfully disrupt gameplay, adding to the overall experience. However, some feel that the humor relies on low-hanging fruit, making it less impactful.

    • “It also didn't help that I was playing in a Discord voice chat and my friends thought it would be funny to mess with me in the middle of it, and I had a mental breakdown playing the game, lol.”
    • “For me, this is like a jump scare; yes, it's scary, but to fear is like a knock-knock joke from the joke kingdom. It can be funny, but it's low-hanging fruit that's easier to pull off.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks significant replayability, with users noting that there is little incentive to play it again after the initial experience.

    • “There is no serious replay value as far as I am aware.”
