Real good, especially considering the wild card limitation you guys used, and in a way the fact of closing your eyes and finding your surroundings while paying close attention to sound makes it kinda relaxing.

One small issue still i think is that since there's no visuals at all i found it hard to know where you're facing with the movement method you used, i feel what could help would be to have a sort of "double movement" system where you'd have the arrow keys as guarantied alwys moving in the same direction, and WASD or other to just turn yourself around when not moving so that you can only reorient yourself to examine your surroundings, just a thought, the game already has good qualities as is nontheless ^^

Also like how you took some time to have a small tutorial to ease the player into the experience.

Good job to the team :)

Great work! I loved the writing, and well done on the sound/dialog. There were one or two places where dialog cut oddly, but overall I’m very impressed with how natural it felt. I loved the “I’m over here!” lines :)

The story was fun, and you really explored a lot of different mechanics with the “no visuals” wildcard.

Really liked this! Quite impressive that you managed to make a fun game with the no visuals wildcard! You have to really use your imagination and listen carefully, something that other games don't rely on so much. I had a lot of fun - well done :)

Wow impressive and super original work !

It's really trippy to play a video game with your eyes closed, you actually make up your own visuals :D 

This is really good idea you got there, I only think that the controls could be easier to avoid head bangings, but other than that, 10/10 !

Congrats on the game :)

Wow, this is great. I got into it straight away when the music started. Explanations are clear and the dialogue got me laughing more than few times :) 

Biggest issue I had with leaving the cabin. It took a lot headbanging on the wall :D Perhaps moving on a grid with 90* turns would be easier?

Awesome, original idea. Well done on using all wildcards. I would never figure out how to do 'see no evil' with 'arcade' at the same time!

Such a cool concept!
