UNSIGHTED

Unsighted is a 2021 video game developed by Brazilian indie developer Studio Pixel Punk and published by Humble Games for the Nintendo Switch, Windows, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game is a Metroidvania adventure game in which players assume the role of Alma, an automaton who has amnesia in the aftermath of a war between humans and robots. In Unsighted, the player and all non-player characters have a depleting in-game time limit. When the time limit expires for characters, they become "unsighted" and disappear from the game. Players must explore the world and fight enemies to locate a finite amount of meteor dust, which allows them to choose to increase the time limit for themselves or other characters. Unsighted is the debut game of Studio Pixel Punk, formed by Brazilian developers Fernanda Dias and Tiani Pixel in 2017. The developers cited the Metroid and The Legend of Zelda series as influential to the design of the game, and aimed to make it accessible for players and feature inclusive queer representation. Upon release, Unsighted received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the game's innovative use of time as a narrative and gameplay mechanic, visual presentation, and combat, and critiques of some aspects of its controls, menus and platforming mechanics. In 2024, the developers announced development on a new 3D Metroidvania named Abyss X Zero.
