About DeafBlind

✦ AI summary

DeafBlind strips away sight and sound to immerse you in complete sensory deprivation, relying entirely on touch and intuition to navigate an invisible world. It's a contemplative experience designed to explore what it means to live without your primary senses, prioritizing emotional discovery over traditional win conditions.

Sensory Deprivation



DeafBlind is a really cool game that takes you to a place where you can't see or hear anything. It's like nothing else out there because it tries to show you what it's like to be both deaf and blind. It's all about diving deep into what it feels like to not have your usual senses.

Tip: For the best experience, we recommend using headphones or earplugs along with a blindfold (Unless you already are deaf and/or blind)

Gameplay



When you play DeafBlind, the screen is just black, and it's totally quiet. Winning or losing isn't the point of the game; it's more about seeing what it's like to live in a world where you can't rely on your eyes or ears, just on touching and feeling stuff.

Achievements



The game has these cool achievements that you get as you make your way through the darkness. They're not just regular goals; they tell a story about everything you do in the game.

This game is made for anyone who's up for trying something really different. It invites you to check out a world that's hidden and silent, pushing you to get used to it and find some kind of meaning when you can't immediately see or hear what's going on.

DeafBlind wants you to just dive in and experience the deep quiet and the big darkness—find out what's waiting beyond what you can normally sense.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

DeafBlind is a minimalist experience that uses its visual and audio limitations as a thoughtful commentary on disability, with players appreciating its message about perspective and appreciating their senses. Reactions are mixed on execution, with some finding it clever and thought-provoking while others feel the novelty is limited and the content relatively thin. Most players seem to view it as a brief, experimental piece worth checking out rather than a substantial game experience.

[h2]Look at the screenshots![/h2] Did you look at them? Then that's that. Other than the fact that the music is muted and there's also a bunch of silly achievements to be earned by typing stuff on your keyboard. Look on the bright side, if this game doesn't get you thinking about how lucky you are to not be deaf and/or blind, then you're probably an asshat.

DeafBlind is an unconventional experimental game that deliberately removes two of the most important tools normally used to interact with a video game: sight and sound. Developed and published by Joe Williams, it approaches gaming from an unusual perspective by placing the player in an environment where conventional audiovisual feedback is essentially absent. Rather than relying on graphics, dialogue, music, environmental cues, or recognizable objectives, the experience revolves around uncertainty and discovering what can be accomplished when those familiar sources of information are taken away. The concept is intentionally minimalist. Players are presented with a black screen and silence, making ordinary actions considerably more mysterious than they would be in a conventional game. There are no beautiful environments to study or distinctive sound effects pointing toward objectives. Instead, experimentation becomes the primary method of interaction. Pressing different controls and attempting to understand their effects creates an experience where the player frequently has to act without knowing exactly what is happening. It is a strange sensation precisely because modern games ar…

DeafBlind is one of the strangest games I have played because it removes the things I normally depend on when playing a game. The screen is completely black and there is no sound, so I have to navigate without the visual and audio information I would normally take for granted. I found the concept surprisingly effective because it immediately forces me to approach the game in a completely different way. There is barely any traditional gameplay here, and I think that is important to understand before starting. I am not fighting enemies or solving complicated puzzles. Instead, I am interacting with an experience built around sensory deprivation and trying to understand the environment through touch and exploration. I liked the simplicity because it keeps the focus entirely on the unusual concept. The lack of visual and audio information creates a strange sense of uncertainty. I normally expect a game to tell me where I am, what I am looking at and what is happening around me, but here I have none of that. I found myself paying much more attention to every interaction because I could not rely on the usual feedback. That made simple actions feel surprisingly meaningful. The achieveme…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
