Discover BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space, a game made for those with Autism
Developer Changingday has announced that they are bringing their VR game, BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space to both PC and Quest 2 platforms later this year, the twist, this is a game designed specifically for autistic players, to let them enjoy gaming without the pressures attached to most games.
“There are very few games designed for autistic people and yet we know that autistic people play more video games than neurotypical people. The immersive quality of VR in particular puts them in control of the digital world around them, allowing them to play as themselves, at their own pace. The support and confidence this gives can help them to cope better in the real world. We’ve worked with autistic people at every stage of development.” says Alison, CEO at Changingday. “As parents of an autistic child, we aim to create a game that autistic people will enjoy playing and that will help them in their everyday lives.”
What is the game about? Well the team also provided a nice synopsis as well.
It’s the first day of your new job with Norp Corp and the CEO, Mister Norp, demands only one thing - the greatest sandwich in the galaxy. But before you can create it, your robot companion Blinnk accidentally releases the mischievous Groobs. Now it’s up to you to help him track them down and hoover them up with your trusty Vacuumizer 5000 - before they cause chaos throughout the Norpopolis space station.
There is no set date yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam
