Unsighted

description Unsighted Overview

Developed by Brazilian studio Studio Pixel Punk and released in 2021, Unsighted follows Alma through the ruined city of Arcadia. Alma and the city's other automatons depend on a dwindling resource to retain their awareness. The search for that resource gives exploration an immediate emotional stake, since time passing can change the fate of characters who would remain safely available in many other adventure games. Its overhead action combines combat with interconnected exploration shaped by action-adventure and Metroidvania design.

Learning routes and gaining abilities are closely tied to decisions about where to go next and whom to help. The advancing deadlines make resource allocation a question about relationships as well as efficiency. Players drawn to difficult choices and route planning are a natural audience. Its defining feature is the way a time system changes the meaning of otherwise familiar exploration and combat.

help Unsighted FAQ

What is the time-limit mechanic in Unsighted?

Unsighted features a real-time degradation system where Alma and other automatons have a limited window before they lose sentience and become 'unsighted.' Players must find a resource called meteor dust to extend the remaining time for Alma and key non-playable characters.

Is Unsighted a Soulslike or a Metroidvania?

Unsighted blends both genres, combining melee combat reminiscent of Soulslike games with ability-gated exploration in the style of a Metroidvania. Players navigate the interconnected ruins of the city of Arcadia, unlocking new areas as they gain abilities and weapons.

Does Unsighted have multiple endings?

Yes, Unsighted offers multiple endings that depend on how the player manages the time-limit mechanic and which characters they manage to save from becoming unsighted. The choices around resource allocation and exploration order significantly affect the outcome.
