See No Evil: A Journey Through Darkness and Sound
In the realm of video games, darkness has often been used as a backdrop for stories of fear and violence. But what if darkness was not just a setting, but a central mechanic? What if the player was forced to navigate a world without sight, relying solely on their hearing to survive?
This is the premise of See No Evil, a dark and atmospheric puzzle game that takes place in a harsh fantasy world where the willingly blind are hostile to the nonconformist. Players take on the role of a blindfolded protagonist who must use sound to navigate their surroundings and solve puzzles.
See No Evil is a unique and challenging game that forces players to think outside the box. The game’s world is full of hidden dangers, and players must use their hearing to avoid traps and enemies. The game’s puzzles are also cleverly designed, and require players to use their wits to progress.

See No Evil is played from an isometric perspective. The player character is blindfolded, and can only see a small area around them. Players must use their hearing to navigate the world, and can use sound to interact with objects and solve puzzles.
The game’s sound design is excellent, and players will need to use their ears to identify different objects and enemies. For example, players can hear the footsteps of enemies, and can use this information to avoid them. Players can also hear the sound of water dripping, and can use this to find hidden passages.
The game’s puzzles are also well-designed, and require players to use their wits to progress. For example, one puzzle requires players to use sound to find a hidden key. Another puzzle requires players to use sound to activate a机关.
