Beyond eyes, a game where you play a blind girl exploring an unknown world

Hi everyone,

This is my game Beyond eyes that I’ve been working on for the past year and a half, You play a blind girl named Rae who visualizes the world by touching,listening and smelling it. It’s a game with a strong focus on exploration and the relationship between you and the protagonist.

As you guide Rae through this unfamiliar world your behavior as player influences the way she feels and behaves. A player who forces her into dangerous situations finds himself with a scared, distrustful girl who will refuse to do his bidding until he regains her trust. Of course if a player respects Rae’s wishes and is careful to keep her from harm, she will open up to him and will trust him in difficult situations.

I am currently running an Indigogo campaign for the game that you can find here:http://igg.me/at/beyondeyes

Pre-alpha demo will be released in November!

Let me know what you think !

It is beautiful!

It’s gorgeous and I’m jealous! A couple years ago I developed a set of effects for doing a “paint the world around you” style almost identical to this, but I haven’t had time/funding to build the game the effects were intended for . I’m glad to see you’re doing something cool with similar effects. =-)

Very, very beautiful game!
Wish you the best of luck with your campaign.

I saw the title from the thread and though “How are you going to handle blindness in a game?” WOW! Very cool!

Keep it up!

Same thoughts here, nice way of expressing blindness into a game and how a girl explores the world.

The black swirls at the end of this video sent a chill down my spine :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m loving the concept here, looking forward to November :wink:

Love the concept on of this game. Really hope your campaign works out for you!

Not a fan of the name of the game … How about unseen?

I do love the experiential qualities and the visuals however.

16

Well i like the name and think you should keep it : )

17

Beautiful. Well done.

Absolutely gorgeous looking. Keen to see the end result. Well done :slight_smile:

Just …beautiful. I had a big question mark in my mind until i saw the video :slight_smile:

It looks so emotional, just by watching the trailer, I feel sad for some reason, despite the happy music towards the end.

It easily affected me emotionally just from the trailer, that is hard to achieve, and you have done it. It is beautiful.

EDIT: The only real issue I found with it was it seemed very jerky at places… Is that just because of the recording?
