Perception, A Horror Game About Being Blind, Is Out Today On Switch
Deep End Games' horror-thriller game, Perception, is not only out today on Nintendo Switch, but a "remastered" patch has been released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC that adds a host of new content.
Perception is a first-person horror game where the player, who is blind, attempts to explore a house that has more than an average amount of spooks and scares going on. Players see the world in terms of what vibrations and sounds tell them, which definitely makes it easier for things to get the jump on you.
The new remastered patch, which is part of the base Switch version, gives you several difficulty levels to choose from. You can choose to be almost completely free of danger or to dodge it at every turn. There have also been clarifications to the story through new dialogue, gameplay and balance changes, and new lines recorded for the main character.
Perception is currently on sale for $14.99 on Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can find our review for the game right here. If you're looking for a scary game tonight, it might be worth a shot.
