The developers got money from Kickstarter:
a young couple, Case and Dawn, wake up blind, and find that there are monsters outside in the darkness eating people. You control Case as he and Dawn try to escape danger, and uncover why they can no longer see, what's outside eating people, and what they are going to do about it.
We hope to raise money on Kickstarter to complete the first 45 minute episode (which could end up providing even more gameplay, depending on your skill level) and need to pay professional actors, buy sound effects, buy software distribution licenses, support coding time, eat ramen etc. If we raise our target, we plan to launch the PC and Mac versions of the game at the end of January 2012. We’ve done the hard part, now we need to do the expensive part.
This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 1, 2011.
The game supports surround sound, but we know most people will just use stereo headphones. We've put a lot of effort into the stereo mode. On the PC and Mac you use the arrow keys to move forward, backward, and turn, as well as the spacebar to interact and the 'h' button for hints if you get lost or turned around.
On mobile devices, accelerometers are used to control movement and the left side of the screen is tapped to interact, the right side is tapped for hints.
