Perception
Perception is one of my own personal most anticipated indie games for 2017. That’s not just because the team behind it is made up of some of the talented minds that brought us BioShock and Dead Space, but because it has such a unique angle for a game. Perception is a horror game where you assume the role of a blind character. That doesn’t mean you literally won’t be able to see a thing, though. Instead, our protagonist here uses sound and echolocation to illuminate and navigate around the environment. To see how this mechanic works, check out the trailer here.
So yes, Perception is a horror game where you’ll literally be using those eerie and terrifying noises to guide you through the darkness, rather than running in the opposite direction from them. Perception probably isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but this promises to be one of the most intriguing and unique titles to release in 2017.
