Don't Blink

Don't Blink is a survival game about escaping an abandoned asylum where you are the latest experiment of Dr. Otto Reikmann. A neurological device implanted in your brain injects chemicals whenever you blink, causing hallucinations and pushing you toward madness. Reikmann watches through surveillance cameras and taunts you over the PA system. When you try to escape, he sends his assistant to hunt you down and capture you.

The blink mechanic

Every blink triggers dynamic events around the asylum, which can be helpful or terrifying. Avoiding blinks causes your vision to blur and split, simulating the strain of keeping your eyes open. Each blink brings the device’s effects closer to madness and moves the assistant nearer to you.

Evade the assistant

The doctor’s assistant was once human but is now disfigured by failed experiments. Though blind, he sees through the asylum’s surveillance camera system. Disable the camera in each room before he detects you; once his sight is cut off, stay quiet and move carefully, or throw objects to distract him. His hearing is exceptionally sharp.

Notes from past victims

You find notes left by previous victims who have already gone mad. They contain survival strategies that can help you escape alive.
