Reviews

“I was immediately drawn into the story and felt like the situations that were unfolding before my ears were actually happening to me — similarly to how I might feel playing a VR game.”
Hey Poor Player

“The idea comes up "What if there were no visuals?".. but to actually execute it, to create a story that justifies it in an interesting way.. I was very compelled by this.”
WizardPhD

“I don't know if the intentions were to create a game for the visually impaired, but the accessibility here is unmatched.”

About This Game

A first person shooter and a blind protagonist walk into a lab. A lab where newborn gods struggle, hope and despair. To survive, you may have to rely on the ones responsible for this mess. Learn what you are and dream of who you could be.

Apotheorasis is a first person 3D action thriller without any graphics or UI.

Navigation, stealth, shooting, interactions ; you play it all by ear (literally). So lean back, and let our 3D audio immerse you in this dark, thrilling, twisted - and badly humorous - sci-fi action-adventure!

Narrative


A recent accident has left you blind, unable to speak, and with no memory of your former self.
“We are here to help” whispers a voice softly, yet something feels off.

In a twisted stroke of luck, your fate is tied to that of a dubious stranger. All you know is that something far more ominous is lurking around every corner you can't see.

Key Features

  • Dream-Like Graphics
    Close your eyes, listen carefully, and let your imagination handle the rest.
  • 3D Audio (Binaural)
    That bullet that's coming your way from the top right? Yes, you can tell.
  • Rediscover the Basics
    Navigate from A to B, dodge traps, and fight enemies ; it will feel like your first time.
  • Hard but Forgiving
    Frequent checkpoints make sure you never lose more than a minute or two of your efforts.
  • Love, Songs and Robots
    The A.I. running the menus can't sing - so it creat.. *hired* a soprano & pianist instead.
  • Short and Sweet
    An interesting story told in a simple way, with a few choices along the way.

Your progress and achievements transfer seamlessly to the full game.



Come on in, don't be afraid now...
