Perception could become one of the promising titles of the PlayStation 4.

The Deep End Games is a team formed of ex-Dead Space and Bioshock developers. They now work on a game where the protagonist is blind (!), and she is in a haunted mansion.

The announcement came from the PlayStation Blog – originally, it looked to be a PC-only title. Quoting the description of the game, 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.”

Cassie can get around with echolocation (similar to Daredevil) and her cane. „She needs to avoid detection and uses ambient sounds of the house to help her navigate or uses objects to create distractions. Every sound creates a visual. But there is a cost… the sound will attract your enemies and reveal your location.”

However, we don’t see how escaping can work. Running results in more noise… but still, the base idea is creative and promising. There is no word on a release date yet.
