More about this game
Your goal is to reach the doorway 24 meters away, guided by Sunny's collar jingle. You can only see the room through a tiny 155-pixel vision tube. You must sweep your cane to detect furniture and create safe echoes. Holding the step button moves you forward, but if you bump into an obstacle you haven't detected, the run ends immediately. The game challenges your spatial awareness and patience as you navigate.
Tips
- Sweep the cane constantly. Furniture echoes last for 1.25 seconds, giving you a brief window to steer around them.
- Listen for Sunny's cues every 8 seconds. The text will tell you if the doorway is to your left or right.
- Don't hold the step button blindly. If you hit an undetected obstacle, the game ends instantly.
Questions
Why did the game end suddenly?
You bumped into an unseen edge. You must sweep your cane to detect furniture before you walk into it. If the cane finds it first, you can safely steer around the echo.
How do I know where to go?
Listen for Sunny's collar jingle or whine, which happens every 8 seconds. A text hint will also appear, showing an arrow pointing left or right toward the doorway.
What do the colored boxes mean?
When your cane hits an obstacle, it creates a dashed box called an echo. This shows you exactly where the furniture is for 1.25 seconds so you can steer around it.
