My Friend Is Blind

Two friends enter the same room. One of them can see it.

One of you walks almost blind. The other sees everything and can only talk you through it. Play it on a voice call with a friend.

This is the Blind's screen. Press F for FLASH or Q for SCAN — two charges each, 12 seconds apart, just like in the game.

01asymmetric information

The same room.
Drag the seam.

Both robots are standing at the start of Minefield. On the right, what the Guide sees. On the left, what the Blind sees from the same spot: a near-black, depth-only haze through a broken monitor.

The start of Minefield as the Guide sees it: a lit corridor, the mines marked in red.

02the two roles

One of you sees.
The other one walks.

Both of you are in the level, with the same speed and the same rules for dying. The difference is what reaches your eyes.

GUIDE

“You see. Tell them when to move.”

Sees the mines, the guards, the falling tiles and the robot's head.
Walks the level too, and can die too — Minefield, Safe Tiles and Glass Circuit are walked by both of you.
Has no button that solves anything. Only eyes, a voice and, in some levels, a terminal.

QSCANDraws only the outlines of walls and obstacles, sweeping outward, for about 1.3 seconds while you keep walking.

2 charges each per attempt · 12 s cooldown after every use · the Guide's HUD shows how many you have left, so you can plan out loud.

BLIND

“You walk. Trust them.”

Sees a near-black, depth-only haze through a broken monitor.
Two tools: FLASH and SCAN. Two charges each per attempt.
Walks the whole level on someone else's word.

03the trials

Five trials.
One of you can see them.

Each trial has its own rule and its own way to kill you. Hold a picture to see it the way the Blind does.

DON'T MOVE — When it looks at you, don't move. A watching robot, a 50 m corridor, a trapdoor. — GUIDE

MINEFIELD — The floor is full of mines. Only the Guide can see them — and a press is crushing its way up behind you. — GUIDE

SAFE TILES — At zero, every tile falls except the safe ones. Five rounds, fewer safe tiles each time. — GUIDE

GLASS CIRCUIT — One panel in each row gives way. Only the Guide's terminals know which. — GUIDE

ECHO PROTOCOL — The guards hear every noise you make, and only the Guide can see them. — GUIDE

▸ Don't Move always opens. After that, the order is shuffled every session.

▸ More trials are in development.

04the opening trial

When it looks at you,
don't move.

Every session opens with Don't Move. A robot at the end of the corridor turns its head, and the Blind cannot see it turn. The dial below is live. You are the Guide: call STOP before the head comes round.
