Blink (Complete) – A Psychological Interactive Narrative Game with Gorgeous Hand-Drawn Artwork

Game Review

Blink is an awesome first-person narrative adventure with a paper-and-pencil art style.

You play as a crazy inpatient who’s in a conversation with his psychiatrist. You have some mental condition that affects how you perceive the world around you. Specifically, you can’t interact nor open up to anyone around you. Basically, you’re alone in a lonely world. Everyone else is gone.

But not completely gone.

The catch is that they’re only visibly-gone. Everything else remains (that’s how you can talk to your shrink in the first place!). You can still feel others’ warmth, hear their voice, and talk to them. But you can’t see them. This is a unique concept I’ve never seen before and it makes for an interesting experience.

You’ll interact with your shrink for a bit and you’ll have to answer some questions. As you go through a nostalgic trip that dives into the realm of your roots, you’ll get these crazy scenes that show why you are the way you are. You’re like a mute, but only for visible people. Without spoiling the plot, it’s a pretty trippy game. You’ll have to play it yourself to find out the cause of your nature and condition.

Blink is a quick experience. If you take the time to explore everything and play through it slowly, you can finish it in about 15-20 minutes. The best part about it is the artwork. The art style is fluid and smooth with everything drawn out in pencil. The hand-drawn style is just something that makes you “ooh” and “ahh” at normal everyday objects. The narration is also spot-on and is interesting to listen to. You’ll be absorbed into the game enough to find out what happens when you shut yourself off from the world!

Don’t shut yourself off from Blink and give it a try using the link below! It’s a game like you’ve never played.
