This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

This game includes characters created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Specifically, the two female classmates were initially generated using AI and then edited by hand to fit the game's style and narrative. The use of generative AI in character creation was essential to meet the game's tight deadline and expedite the production process while still ensuring a high-quality experience for players.

About

Blind Sight is a prototype visual novel game developed as a midterm requirement for our game development course. This project was an accumulation of our knowledge at developing 2D games using the Unity Engine. Given that the project must be a visual novel game, We came up with the idea of a horror-themed visual novel. This prototype took inspiration from another horror visual novel game, The Letter developed by Yangyang Mobile.

In this atmospheric horror visual novel, you play as Anthony, a university student unwittingly drawn into a web of dark secrets and malevolent forces that plague his campus. Your choices will shape Anthony's fate as he navigates an eerie encounter and uncovers the university's sinister past. With the help of a mysterious artifact, Anthony has a chance to combat the threats that lurk in the shadows. Will you lead him to safety, or will he succumb to the darkness?

Controls

LMB: Confirm

WASD: Movement

There will be a section in the game where you will use an artifact to defeat an encounter. You will need to capture its face directly. Beware, this section will have a time limit.
