Isaac seems to be your typical ride-share driver. He values passenger safety, strives for good ratings, and relies on good tips to make it through the day. However, what his passengers don’t know is that if he takes off the sunglasses that lock him into a world of complete darkness, terrible things will happen.

In this noir thriller meets driving simulator, play as Isaac, our hard-working ride-share driver who must rely solely upon the things he can hear in order to navigate the bustling roads. Learn to drive blind, avoid obstacles, and unravel the mystery of how he ended up in such a peculiar set of circumstances.
