Disorientation. by yo_milo

Experience firsthand, what it is like to be blind...


Don't get too scared, it might kill you.

By the way, the second set of stairs is the end of the level.

Interesting game, I feel like the shaders got a little wonky at times, could have used one of the intersection effects ala Quantum Conundrum to help delineate the environment, but I really like the atmosphere and the idea.

Wow, well done. The atmosphere was spot on and something like echolocation was a very interesting way to go about navigation.

Very atmospheric game, really lives up to its title. Felt almost claustrophobic at times because of the smallness of the space. Good job!

Very cool concept, I reached some stairs and got kicked to the menu so I guess (hope) I made it?

Using that visual cue for echolocation was pretty cool. I feel like it's in the same vain as the horror games that use the temporary flash of a camera to see things. Lots of potential for jump scares ;)

The audio also added a lot for the atmosphere!

This should be made into a full game. Freaked me out.

Very original! Blackness and the unknown just makes instant creepiness.
The game jumped back to the menu after I wondered around a bit. And the menu doesn't seem to do anything when I click on it either.

Awesome idea. Just some thoughts, add some more audio next time to have a much better experience of the game.

It's got a great atmosphere, but it's just too dark and I can't see anything. I know that I'm supposed to be blind, but it's not much fun being blind. Great use of sound effects.

I found that even with the echo location activate it was still difficult to see anything. Neat idea though.

Such a nice concept. The echolocation visual could last a bit longer. I found myself just spamming the mouse button. You definitely got the mood right though, I could see this being a great horror game.

Cool idea.The heavy breathing sound was a nice touch that added a lot to the mood

That game was pretty immersive. At some point though, I felt like I heard someone screaming. I instantly removed my headphones and closed the game. Now I am too scared to boot it up again...
