Former BioShock and Dead Space developers have formed new indie outfit The Deep End Games, and they’ve taken to Kickstarter with an intriguing ”echo-location based adventure” about a blind woman battling a haunted house.
It’s a first-person narrative driven horror adventure called Perception and we’ll have to use the woman’s ”extraordinary hearing” and sharp wits to stay ahead of a deadly presence lurking around.
Cassie must try to decipher the secrets of the Estate at Echo Bluff in order to avoid becoming its next victim. As she continues her investigation she’ll be visiting different moments in the past. ”But the house and its deadly Presence go to great lengths to prevent her from deciphering its secrets. And yet, they won’t let her leave either.”
”Surviving this deadly game of cat and mouse with the Presence proves especially perilous when your only way of seeing is by means of sound, and so you must carefully weigh the risk of making too much noise against the possibility of being discovered by the terrifying Presence.”
This part of Perception is inspired by Creative Assembly’s take on Alien: Isolation, which created an atmosphere of tension because the wandering xenomorph could discover you at any moment. The indie team wanted the same chilling fear for the Presence.
As we discover the source of evil at each stage in time we have to ‘right the wrong’.
