About This Game

1–4 old men. Cataract surgery tomorrow.

Naturally, you’ve decided the smartest use of your last semi-functional evening is camping by the local lake.

After setting up the campsite, things go spectacularly wrong. You’re knocked unconscious and wake up with vision so bad you could lose a staring contest with a potato.

Now it’s on you, alone or with your equally impaired friends, to stumble around, scavenge whatever hasn’t rolled into the lake, and somehow reach the gas station before someone’s wife shows up and starts asking questions.

Fully playable in single player. Significantly more chaotic (and hazardous) with friends.

Grab Your Walking Stick

A walking stick is essential to any man’s outdoor adventure. Probe the ground, lean on it when your legs give out, swing it at threats… or "accidentally" clock your buddy in the head.

Uncover A Strange New Ability
“Well I’ve never had that kind of concussion before.”
Your ruined vision comes with unexpected side effects. Temporary powers, weird instincts, and moments of surprising competence (or spectacular failure) can appear at the worst possible times.

Defend Yourself
Against the wilderness, the dark, and the things that go bump in the night.

Rest at the Campfire
Whenever you get the chance. Recover, regroup, and try to remember which way the gas station is.

Scavenge the Loot
Fill your backpacks with whatever you can find:

  • Med packs & medications

  • Hydration (and the opposite)

  • Food

  • And plenty of items that are not as helpful as they seem

Just be careful what you pick up. Not everything that shines is treasure.

Stumble, scavenge, swing your stick, and try not to die of embarrassment before morning.
