blindness trope, combined with blind in the title.
hard pass

Yes, the blindness trope is annoying. I wish they wouldn't do that, and it will probably be executed poorly. I just think if it's not it could be cool, but I won't buy it if there's no demo.

I hope it will be released somewhere other than steam. Honestly, I think the blind trope is used more to justify an audio only game to a sighted audience. As long as it’s a good game, it doesn’t bother me.

The banging on the blindness drum might not be so bad if the game presents a real blind character, IE, someone who actually has character traits outside of being blind, after all, Blind drive did a great job with its characterisation.

I'm also wondering whether the game will do anything interesting with its gameplay mechanics, since while the streaming thing might be good in terms of just getting sighted gamers interested in audiogames, I don't know if it will contribute to the game itself.

Unfortunately, the writeup says nothing about how the actual gameplay will work. I presume since it mentions action and infiltration that there will be some kind of exploration element as opposed to this being a grail to the thief style interactive audio drama.

Again, I expect this will probably end up being another of those games we always get when sighted developers suddenly discover the new and wonderful concept of audio games , first person exploration/adventure where the very boppit like combat and shear need to navigate by sound, is seen as an innovation, Ie, another terraformers, A western drama  or a blind legend.

Nothing wrong with that in principle, but it would be nice to see things actually progress for once, I mean, terraformers came out in 2005, and the fact that (unlike falling squirrel games), this developers hasn't actually visited the community or (as far as we know), played the likes of swamp and seen what's previously been done in audio doesn't bode well on the inovation front.

However, as with all things, we'll have to wait and see, since even if it does end up being another A blind legend or a western drama, both still provided a few hours of fun.

Okay, in that case its poker time!
The big sighted will be 15 dollars, the small sighted 5 dollars, and just to make sure the game is fair, which deck of cards we use will be a sighted draw by an impartial person wearing a sighted fold, only sighted luck and people's skill at bluffing will determine how the game goes.

since it is very sunny outside, we will also have the sighteds open in every room :d.

Actually there's a lot of exploration, opening doors / passages and interacting with surrounding. This is what I know  from french videos about the game. It sounds really interesting but of course We'll see if it's good or not, cloning the same stuff We have or not. There's actually something like escaping from chupacabra which is stomping around, descroying your surroundings.
Interesting what this will be like but I am interested.

Is this game going to be in English? I’m only asking because the website isn’t.

"Play as Alex, a young blind archeologist"
HMM, i think we should be happy that they didnt titled the game Blindiana Jones.

Well, let's just wait and see and not hope that this is one of those 15 minute type experimental games, you kknow the kind.

Greetings Moritz.

I think, that waiting for the release might just be a better choice than sitting here going after its title and jumping to conclusions without even knowing what the game entails

cool. I am looking forward to it. I don't mind the blind trope if it is used to justify the game mechanics to a sighted gamer. I actually really liked a blind legend. I think you can still have quite an entertaining game with those kind of mechanics as long as the sound design, voice acting, and story are high quality.
