Onion Soup Interactive has revealed the Steam store page for BLIND x FOLD, and the game is now available for wishlist addition. This online shooter currently in development supports 2 to 6 players, who will enter a haunted house with absolutely no visual information, relying solely on sound to locate and defeat their opponents.
The mansion is filled with the sounds of thunder, leaking rain, cabinets, musical instruments, and various obstacles. Bumping into a table might knock over glassware, walking across the floor creates creaking noises, and touching doors or walls can reveal your position. Holding your breath in place doesn't guarantee safety either; swarms of flies will appear inside the house, not only creating noise but also blocking players' ears.
Each player starts with only one gun and six bullets. Firing at enemies will also expose your own position. Ammunition can only be replenished by playing music boxes; once the bullets are taken, the melody stops, allowing other players to gauge the general location of their rivals. Each round lasts 10 minutes, and as time runs out, the mansion will catch fire, gradually shrinking the playable area.
The game plans to offer a ranked mode where knocking down an enemy earns 1 point and surviving grants 3 points. There will also be a practice mode and custom lobbies where rules can be adjusted. The menu and other out-of-game interfaces support voice guidance, and the developers stated that visually impaired players can compete under the same conditions. Currently, no specific release date has been announced for BLIND x FOLD.
