Former ‘Bioshock’ Devs Reveal ‘Perception’, And It Looks Amazing!

Briefly: This looks incredibly original, and I sure hope that it receives the funding that it’s looking for.

We’ve seen some pretty incredible gaming successes on Kickstarter over the past month. Yooka-Laylee surpassed each and every one of its stretch goals in under 24 hours, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night flew beyond its goal in just a day.

Perception, an insanely original premise by a new studio (which contains a ton of ex-Irrational Games devs) called The Deep End Games just hit Kickstarter, and while it hasn’t yet received the same success as the previously mentioned titles, in less than a day its reached over $30,000 of its $150,000 goal.

Perception is a first-person narrative horror adventure that tells the story of Cassie, a blind heroine who uses her extraordinary hearing and razor-sharp wits to unravel the mysteries of an abandoned estate that haunts her dreams. The gameplay has Cassie using echolocation to see, which amounts to some extremely original mechanics, and potential for some absolutely gut-wrenching scares.

As always, there are some incredible rewards available for backers, but I’m mostly excited for the potential of this insanely ambitious looking game. Plus, it’s a horror title, and we all know that I’m a sucker for those.

Take a look at the campaign trailer for Perception below, and let us know if you’ll be backing the project. Be sure to visit the campaign page for all the info about the title.
