Eyes Open: a game that forces you to close your eyes

I'm leading a three person team to develop Eyes Open, a horror/stealth game that forces you to preserve sanity by closing your eyes and navigating its levels blindly. We're focusing on mechanics-based horror: our idea is to make a game where the tension comes from the gameplay and situations that you find yourself in, rather than on blood or cinematics.

Additionally, we're documenting our entire process so that backers can follow development of the game every step of the way - everything from what design decisions we've made, to what our marketing efforts have been, to what our day to day life is like during development.

Hi!

Your project looks pretty cool, love your concept. Playing it would make me very tense, so I'm sure your kickstarter is going to be a big hit (I feel tense just watching the video of the game play). Good luck with the rest of your pledges. I have just backed you. :)

Creepy music at the end. Thanks for sharing. Seems like you've gotten some solid backer growth in the first week. I'm not sure you have already, but I know when I was in college, there was an office of entrepreneurship and also some on campus groups and meetups in the area related to gaming, technology, and new products. Could be another way to get the word out.
