Thanks for your interest!

I really wanted to experiment with stripping away a basic sense like sight to see how it shifts the tension and changes the atmosphere. It’s been a challenge, but a rewarding one.

Even now, I find myself replaying it over and over to beat my own record. It gets genuinely intense when you spin around, lose your orientation, and realize you have to make “noise” just to find your bearings again - even though that sound is exactly what puts you in danger.

I’ve noticed it’s a real workout for spatial memory and situational awareness. A friend of mine even started drawing a physical map on paper while playing just to keep track! It’s definitely a unique experience.

Thanks again for the support, and I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for!

Hi everyone!

I’m thrilled to share my first solo project, ACOUSIGHT, which I released ! It’s a minimalist horror experience focused on a unique sensory mechanic and an oppressive atmosphere.

The Concept

In ACOUSIGHT, you are trapped in a dark complex. You are blind. Your only way to “see” is a damaged AS-1 echolocation chip. Every step you take, every object you throw, and every noise you make sends out a pulse that briefly reveals your surroundings… but it also alerts the Entity hunting you.

Key Features

  • Visuals: Minimalist teal-on-black aesthetic.
  • Core Mechanic: A deadly game of hide-and-seek where sound is your only tool for survival.
  • Atmosphere: No jump-scares, just pure dread and tension.

Why I made this

I wanted to explore how it feels to be completely vulnerable by removing the most basic sense — sight.

ACOUSIGHT is a unique opportunity to train your spatial memory and orientation in a high-pressure environment. Since the world is revealed only for a split second, the game encourages you to develop a mental map of the complex. It’s a rewarding experience that helps you improve how you perceive space and remember your surroundings, all while staying one step ahead of the entity in the dark.
