Description

Made for autistic people with autistic people, this innovative VR game sends players on an intergalactic adventure where every level has been designed with accessibility in mind. Join BLINNK, your loveable robot companion, for a fun-filled quest aboard the Space Station Norpopolis as you wrangle the mischievous alien Groobs that have run amok. With your trusty Vacuumiser 5000, you’ll go undercover in an assortment of ordinary but out-of-this-world situations, whether it’s scrubbing an alien’s teeth at Nazel’s Dental Practice, fishing for extraterrestrial creatures in the Park, or fixing robots at the high-tech Robo Workshop. BLINNK is Changingday’s first game, and is now available on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, SteamVR, Pico, and Viveport.

History

Alison and Nick Lang, who head Changingday, have an autistic daughter and want to harness VR to create experiences for players like her. This is their debut game. “We’re so excited to release BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space,” says Alison. “It’s the culmination of six years’ work. We really hope that autistic players enjoy it, and we look forward to hearing what they think so that we can learn more before we start designing the next game.”
