Blind at birth, Hoshimi must use ESP to guide her spectral gatling gun as she conducts exorcisms at 5,000 rounds per minute! Guide Hoshimi using the first person perspective… of the monsters chasing her!
A video game vignette, “The Blind Shrine Maiden” lets you play as Hoshimi. Thrown into the dark, players will have to rely on their wits to find and pass under three archways to open and enter the graveyard. In the graveyard they’ll find the apparitional ammo they need to dispatch waves of demons and a final, giant samurai spectre. The only time the player can see is when confronted by an enemy, and only then through the enemy’s eyes! Shoot “on-sight” or suffer the demons, your strategy will determine your fate…
With The Blind Shrine Maiden I think I’ve been able to create something unique, not just in terms of game mechanics, but philosophy as well. The Blind Shrine Maiden will put your spatial reasoning abilities to the test, of course, but it will also test your philosophical perspective. As players experiment with strategy, I hope that they will uncover a philosophy as well.
Thanks for your time and consideration! I hope you’ll choose to help us make The Blind Shrine Maiden a reality!
