Blind Drive is a comedic yet brutal audio-based action game where we are forced to steer a car entirely at the mercy of our hearing.

After volunteering for a scientific research study, we suddenly find ourselves cuffed to the wheel of a car that we’re forced to steer through various areas while the speed and other factors are remotely controlled by the scientist.

With vehicles coming at us from multiple angles, we must listen and carefully steer away from the sound they make to prevent crashing into them. Adding to this insanity, the supposed scientist that holds us captive loves to mess with us by muffling the audio cues.

The story takes a dark turn after we blindly ram into a few police cars, and from thereon, the plot quickly unravels and we soon realize that not everything is as it seems to be.

To make the experience even more immersive, a blindfold mode allows us to play the entire game through a purely black screen, removing all the minimalistic but dazzling visuals that appear by default. A lot of effort was clearly put into creating a great audio-based experience with lots of attention to detail, which is why the game works so well. For example, we can hear a faint heartbeat slowly coming to an end after a car accident.

A high-quality headphone is required to properly distinguish between the directions of each sound, however. Because although we can skip levels and restart at checkpoints, even the easy mode is difficult if played with subpar headphones.

Blind Drive is a $3.99 premium game with no ads or iAPs. With fantastic voice acting and a convincing soundscape, the game offers a unique and extraordinary experience that is even accessible for players with visual impairments.
