Infos zum Spiel

Have you ever played a game without any visuals and just sound alone? And on top of that what if you had to wear a blindfold while playing it?

Cling to Blindness is a horror game played entirely by sound, requiring you to navigate the world blindfolded. 

The playtime is roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, and the level of fear is relatively low and is accessible even for those who don't usually enjoy horror games.

There are no jump scares, only immersive tension built through sound and imagination. 

Game Features

• How to Play

Cling to Blindness is a horror audio game where you must rely solely on audio cues to complete a ritual. In this ritual, being blindfolded is a must and not just a suggestion. Playing with headphones is strongly recommended for the full experience.

• Navigate with Your Mouse

Use your mouse to progress through the game. Moving it left and right changes your perspective and will help you locate where sounds are coming from. Left-click to step forward.

• Follow the Sounds

Once Ashioto catches up to you, it's game over... Rely on sound to navigate and achieve your goal. Instead of visuals, you'll have to depend on a variety of audio cues to help guide you through the darkness.

There are no sudden jump scares as this is a sound-driven horror experience designed to be playable even for those who aren't a fan of traditional horror games.

However, if you begin to feel unwell, we recommend you stop playing the game immediately.

There are three rules you must follow...

1. Never take off your blindfold.

2. Do not let Ashioto catch up to you.

3. Collect all five talismans.

Story

You play as Satsuki, a girl who travels to the ruins of an abandoned village to perform a ritual.

Listen carefully.

If you hear footsteps... that means Ashioto is near.

Never, ever let them catch you.

Use the sound of wind chimes to locate the talismans.

Your hearing becomes your vision as nothing will be shown on the screen.

So do not remove your blindfold—

not until it’s time for it to be taken off.

Play Time

Approximately 1 to 1.5 hours

Penguin Mode

While Cling to Blindness features minimal horror imagery and avoids traditional jumpscares, a special "Penguin Mode" has been included to make the game more approachable for players sensitive to fear. In this mode, players can press "P" to change modes and toggle Penguin Mode. When in Penguin Mode, Ashioto's footsteps are replaced by the gentle, endearing sounds of a penguin walking.

Players who find horror games intimidating can still enjoy Cling to Blindness and we encourage them to try out the Penguin Mode setting for a more lighthearted experience.
