Be Right Back, Uninstalling

Just finished playing a single player HL2 mod called Blind Monk's Society.


A scene from near the end of the game

It's quite a unique mod in that it's basically a blindness simulator. The screen is completely blank and you navigate by ear.
A set of headphones or surround-sound speaker set up is a must, but with headphones its pretty easy.
It took me about 15 minutes, but it could take less or more depending on how in-touch you are with your inner blind man.

That may not sound like much fun, but it's pretty well made and, considering its an ametuer mod, pretty well written/voice-acted.

Just give it a go and I guarantee you'll do a little jig when you finish  ;D

I tried it at one point, but I kept getting lost and losing track of where I was supposed to be, then mishearing instructions (or not hearing them at all), and being completely confused as to what I should be doing. So I gave up and didn't try again. :-\

Same. Really cool idea though. Better headphones might have helped.

It would have been neat if you could watch a replay with your vision back. Just so you can see how badly you did. I'm pretty sure that when the pirate attacked me I walked off the dock into the lake.

This sounds.
REALLY HARD.

I get stuck when I have to follow the guy on the riverbank or whatever. YES I KNOW THAT'S THE BEGINNING.

I spazed for a minute thinking my browser was broken when the SS was just black.  Go go reading everything before freaking out.

I'm going to have to try this...

shit, the graphics are terrabad.
