Blind Trust is a free-to-play indie adventure released in 2016 by developers Viswanath Atlu, Laurie Banks, and Rohan Bhukan, published by Good Vibration Games. The game places two players in asymmetric co-op roles on a fantasy island, where one player navigates using only 3D spatial audio as the blind Oracle while the other guides them by placing magical sound beacons as the deaf Soldier. Core mechanics center on sensory substitution, sound-based navigation, and trust-based decision-making, requiring players to communicate creatively despite their contrasting perspectives. Players describe the experience as atmospheric and contemplative, with the unique communication demands creating memorable moments that reveal individual adaptability and instincts. The game received mixed reviews on Steam with approximately 53% positive ratings from around 1020 reviews, and it is not supported on Steam Deck.
