My Friend is Blind

You see. They walk.

My Friend is Blind is an asymmetric online co-op game for two players, set in a robot testing facility that has been turned into a chaotic game show.

One of you is the Guide: you can see the mines, the traps, the crumbling tiles and the guards lying in wait. The other is the Blind: they move almost in the dark and can rely only on their partner's directions.

There is no in-game voice chat: talk however you like, on a call or sitting in the same room. Communication is the real game mechanic.

Six trials to test a friendship

• Minefield: cross a corridor full of mines only the Guide can see, while a crusher wall closes in from behind.
• Safe Tiles: when the timer runs out, every tile falls except the safe ones. Only the Guide knows which they are.
• Don't Move: a watcher robot eliminates anyone who moves while it is looking. And mind the trapdoors.
• Glass Circuit: rows of paired glass platforms. One holds, the other breaks, and only the Guide's terminals show which.
• Final Shape: the Blind operates an industrial cutter while the Guide sees the target shape and has to steer the cut by voice.
• Echo Protocol: a corridor patrolled by guards who react to every sound. Move quietly and throw objects to distract them.

Features

• 2-player online co-op: host a match and read the room code to your partner.
• Asymmetric roles: the Guide sees, the Blind acts. You can swap roles.
• The Blind has two tools: Flash, a quick look at the whole room, and Scan, a longer look at what is close by.
• A taunt emote, for when your friend blows you up for the third time in a row.
• Quick deaths and instant restarts: failing is part of the fun.
