This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.

You've fallen into a pitch-dark cave, and need to find your way back out to civilisation using only the sounds of the environment and the echoes of your own footsteps.

Headphones and a quiet environment highly recommended!

Controls:

WASD / D-pad / Left stick: Move

Q and E / Right stick / Shoulder buttons / Triggers: Turn

Also:

J: Cycle cheat mode (visual sounds -> visual sounds + walls -> visual sounds + walls + reflection angles -> back to no visuals)


I have a tendency to focus on gameplay and visuals, and deprioritise audio in my games and prototypes, so when the the Games for blind gamers 3 and Blind accessible game jam 2 jams came along, I wanted to take on something where audio was the primary focus!

NB. The web version can be a bit laggy on older machines. The download versions appear to be more efficient in those cases.

Haha, that 'ending' was perfect.

Got stuck and spun around a few times, but eventually made it out.

Maybe some way to know which direction you're facing could help with mentally mapping out the cave.
