About Blind
Blind is a narrative-driven psychological thriller for virtual reality where the player is blind and must explore their surroundings using echolocation.
Waking up in a strange room with little memory of how she came to be there, a young woman makes the shocking discovery she has lost her sense of sight. Goaded by the sinister and twisted Warden, she must explore a perverse and frightening mansion using sound alone. By sending out soundwaves with a cane, the outlines of objects are briefly revealed, enabling the player to navigate the mansion, solve puzzles and uncover the mystery of what is happening to her.
As she gets closer and closer to the truth, however, she will be forced to confront her worst enemy--that which she does not, or will not see.
Born out of the Global Game Jam in 2014, which had the theme of “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are”, the Blind team won the Best Game award at the Turin (Italy) jam site with their entry Come to See My House. The team then began work on a full game based on this initial concept.
Built from the ground up for virtual reality, Blind will be launching September 18, 2018.
Learn to navigate carefully and cautiously using your cane. Send out soundwaves to reveal your surroundings briefly before they fade into darkness. Gramophones and other objects that make sound become lighthouses in the all-encompassing blackness.
Built from the ground up for virtual reality and supporting binaural audio and motion control, Blind is a fully immersive and unique experience that removes you from the world you are used to, and asks you to see things differently.
Where are you? Who is the Warden? Why has he kidnapped you and why does he want you to solve the puzzles in this strange and yet somehow eerily familiar place? Experience a constant sense of foreboding and emotional tension as you travel deeper into a mansion riddled with puzzles and dangers. As you search for answers, will you find things you’d rather not see?

✦ AI summary
Blind earns consistent praise for its genuinely innovative concept of exploring a dark world through sound rather than sight, creating a uniquely immersive and atmospheric psychological experience that stands out in VR. However, players report significant technical issues with certain headsets, particularly Quest 3 compatibility problems, and mixed feedback on gameplay difficulty and clarity, though some note that motion control support may have recently improved compatibility for certain devices.

[h1] If you are using Virtual Desktop / Steam Link app and Quest 2, Be warned that the game doesn't work [/h1] Game crashes instantly upon launch and I have tried everything but I can't get it to work. Some page suggested to use Oculus App or something like that, but I can't recommend a game that doesn't work natively on SteamVR without other apps.
While I like the concept, it does not work particularly well on my hardware (an Oculus Quest 2 connected via Link Cable). I will probably enjoy it more once I upgrade to a better VR headset. The gameplay can at times feel rather hard and not obvious, but also partly too easy.
Blind is a psychological VR adventure that immediately distinguishes itself through one of the most creative concepts seen in the genre. Instead of giving players full visual awareness of their surroundings, the game places them in the role of a blind woman who perceives the world through sound. Nearly everything exists in darkness until noise briefly reveals fragments of the environment, creating a deeply immersive experience built around uncertainty, tension, and sensory awareness. Rather than relying on traditional horror mechanics or action-heavy gameplay, Blind focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and psychological storytelling, resulting in a haunting journey that feels both experimental and emotionally engaging. The story follows Jean, a woman who awakens inside a mysterious mansion after losing her sight in a traumatic accident. Guided by the unsettling voice of a man known only as the Warden, she begins exploring the strange building while attempting to understand both her current situation and the events that led her there. As the narrative progresses, the mansion slowly transforms into something more than a simple physical location. It becomes a symbolic space tied to Je…
I just played about 40 mins so far of this game and it's not like any other game I played before. It's very creative and works great in VR. I seen people saying it didn't work with the Quest 3 but that's how I played it. I thought it was a gamepad only game at first but it actually needs motion controls to play it right. Maybe it was recently added so all those who had issues before should try it again.
the best vr game ive played
