Invisible Vision

Invisible Vision is an obscure experimental title that plays with perception, visibility and the idea that what you cannot see can be considerably more troublesome than what you can. Rather than relying on a conventional blockbuster presentation, it builds its identity around its unusual concept and minimalist independent-game sensibility. The experience rewards observation and experimentation, asking players to understand its rules rather than simply charging forward. That makes it particularly interesting as a small piece of experimental game design: simple ingredients can produce surprisingly unusual results when a developer is willing to ignore familiar formulas. Invisible Vision may not be a famous title, but discovering games like this is precisely what makes exploring obscure freeware archives worthwhile.

Review by Freeware Database:

“Invisible Vision is a 3D arena shooter set at sea, where players get to engage in naval battles with enemy submarines while surviving the occasional boss encounter or two. Wireframes are used to replicate the surroundings of a dark ocean, and with careful observation you can easily detect enemy ships based on the ripples caused by their movements. The arrow keys can be used to move your ship around. To launch a torpedo, just press the Z key. Every missed shot costs three seconds, and the game is over when you run out of time or lives.“
