What is Perception?

Perception is a single-player, first-person horror adventure about Cassie, a blind woman investigating the mansion from her nightmares. You use echolocation to navigate rooms, uncover the estate's history, and hide from a stalking entity called the Presence. Solving mysteries changes the mansion as the story moves back through its past.
