Apotheorasis • Lab of the Blind Gods

[b]Keep your ears open and focus[/b] Apotherorasis is an fps sci-fi game you play blinded, which is for sure quite new for player's with regular eyesight - an experience I'd highly recommend for people who are into trying new ways of gaming and possibly like stepping into someone else's shoes for a change. I'd say this game is also good for other game devs to understand gaming from usability perspective which gets overlooked quite often. As far as my own experience with this game goes: This is the first game I've played like this and I enjoyed the experience well-enough. The game is very immersive and you'll have an interesting time seeing how your senses adapt to being stripped of visual cues, tough at first for sure - but you'll manage. For people who have a vivid imagination and a good enough spatial awareness, this game is going to be easier than for people who have difficulty painting a mental map in their mind of the situation and space. So if you're a very visually concrete person this might not be for you. Overall it is a very good framework for the future. As far as things to improve go, the story and setting is interesting, so I wish we'd gotten to know more about it and speak more with the characters. So for people wondering whether or not to pick this up, don't expect a ton of lore, it is quite a short game after all. Our scientist fella stands out as the most professional sounding voice-actor even though he is kinda theatrical, it adds some weird charm to him. Really loved the voice ques, clicking and whistling from our partner during missions. Reeeally liked the sarcastic humor of our lil' menu robot too. I had no other issues with the game except for the final chapters and final boss as I got no idea where I was supposed to aim, not to mention my shield didn't work. The controls also need a little more fine tuning as it is quite difficult to use the mouse for abilities as you're trying to walk and pinpoint locations at the same time. P.S didn't seem to get my "Your pain is my Pain" achievement. TL;DR It's an interesting, short game if you're looking for something new and are a fan of sci-fi and robots - or if you have ever wondered what it's like to be blind

Apotheorasis is a fairly short game. The voice acting is definitely amateur (though quite charming, in my opinion) and the story is just okay. That said, for the price of a movie ticket, this game offers an experience I would strongly recommend. It’s fun, unique, and makes for a perfect one-evening playthrough.

It's an interesting game, honestly. But near the ending(?) gameplay becomes really confusing. I don't know if I broke any triggers, but I got bombarded with overlaying dialogues and got lost in what's happening to the point I didn't understand how new enemies work.

WOW what an experience! An FPS without graphics? I thought at first how is that going to work? But the game shows you well how to play. It can happen that you run in circles or just do not know where you are but here the game intervenes with a few hints. After some time it becomes challenging and unfortunately I had to skip from time to time because I didn't know what would kill me. After 3 chapters I was very impressed with what this game does to you. I hope more games like APOTHEORASIS follow. I can imagine this concept in a walking simulator! Please keep up the good work!

No idea why I forgot to put my review here earlier... This is fantastic short first person adventure game with shooting elements! It is of course audio game and the audio works fantastic! The game is using Binaural sound so it is even more immersive. :) I can fully reommend it even if it's rather short experience. 10/10

Holy moly, a játék nagyon király lenne ha a hangokat amerről hallom onnét is jönnének ugye, mert míg nem addig csak reload chackpoint??? :)

Apotheorasis is a one-of-a-kind game that defies expectations. With no graphics or UI, it challenges you to rely solely on your ears to navigate, sneak, shoot, and interact. Immerse yourself in a twisted, dark, and sometimes hilariously absurd sci-fi world brought to life through immersive 3D audio. The game strikes a balance between challenge and forgiveness, offering frequent checkpoints to keep you engaged. With its quirky humor and short but captivating storyline, Apotheorasis is a thrilling experience that will leave you wanting more.
