It Consumes
It Consumes is set in what it calls “complete darkness.” Given there’s a glowing heart in the middle of this arena FPS’s chamber, I’d beg to differ, but the point remains: it’s a game where you can’t see at all, but instead use a sort of Daredevil-like sonar, except via the act of squeezing a beating heart.
The heart sends out a pulse that highlights objects and characters around you, but only very temporarily, and if you squeeze the heart too often it overloads and you’re plunged into darkness for far longer. And, yup, that sounds terrifying.
What a brilliant concept, and the footage looks incredibly promising. The game is due out next year, and there’s a playtest option on Steam.
