About This Game

You see. They walk.

My Friend is Blind is an asymmetric online co-op game for two players, set in a robot testing facility that has been turned into a chaotic game show.

One of you is the Guide: you can see the mines, the traps, the crumbling tiles and the guards lying in wait. The other is the Blind: they move almost in the dark and can rely only on their partner's directions.

The game has voice chat built in, but talk however you like: on a call or sitting in the same room. Communication is the real game mechanic.

Four trials to test a friendship

  • Minefield: cross a corridor full of mines only the Guide can see, while a crusher wall closes in from behind.
  • Safe Tiles: when the timer runs out, every tile falls except the safe ones. Only the Guide knows which they are.
  • Don't Move: a watcher robot eliminates anyone who moves while it is looking. And mind the trapdoors.
  • Glass Circuit: rows of paired glass platforms. One holds, the other breaks, and only the Guide's terminals show which.

And at the end of every run, The Observer is waiting.

Features

  • 2-player online co-op: host a match and read the room code to your partner.
  • Asymmetric roles: the Guide sees, the Blind acts. You can swap roles.
  • The Blind has two tools: Flash, a quick look at the whole room, and Scan, a longer look at what is close by.
  • A taunt emote, for when your friend blows you up for the third time in a row.
  • Quick deaths and instant restarts: failing is part of the fun.
