Why it matters

A competitive shooter built around removing sight is a design bet that the soundscape can carry a whole match, and the voice guidance for menus suggests the studio is treating accessibility as part of the core rules rather than an add-on.

Key Facts

  • Onion Soup Interactive has opened the Steam store page for BLIND x FOLD.
  • BLIND x FOLD is an online gun-shooting game for 2 to 6 players set in a haunted mansion.
  • Players start with one gun and six bullets, and bullets are replenished only from a music box.
  • Each match has a 10-minute time limit, after which the mansion sets fires and narrows the play area.
  • Ranked matches award 1 point for a defeat and 3 points for surviving.

Players are blindfolded inside a haunted mansion and fight to the death using sound cues, starting with one gun and six bullets. A 10-minute timer brings fires that narrow the play area. Release is scheduled for the near future, and wishlists are open.

The mansion itself is the opponent. Thunder, leaks, cabinets, and musical instruments fill the space with noise, and every movement adds to it: a bumped table knocks over glasses, floorboards creak, and touching a door or wall gives away a position. Standing still and holding your breath is not a safe option either, because the mansion sends a swarm of flies that makes sound and plugs the player's ears.

Bullets come only from a music box that plays a melody. When someone takes the bullets, the melody stops, which points to where they are. Ranked matches award 1 point for a defeat and 3 for surviving, and a practice mode and freely configurable lobby matches are planned.
