Our take on Blinded by Fear
Replacing ordinary vision with LiDAR creates a constrained view of the environment. That design trades immediate visual clarity for the need to reveal surroundings gradually, which can make navigation and hazard recognition less direct.
What is Blinded by Fear?
Explore the abandoned Anima Research Station in a first-person science-fiction horror mystery.
A LiDAR scanner replaces ordinary vision and reveals the environment one point at a time. The game combines exploration, puzzles, and stealth as players avoid hazards and investigate the facility’s dark secret. Its story centers on the mystery of the Anima and the terrors within the research station. An included level editor supports custom level creation, while Steam Workshop support is also available. The game is marked as ready for Steam Deck.
