Blind Octopus Studios
We are the pioneers of narrative audio games for smartphones in Slovakia. Blind Octopus Studios bridges the gap between sighted and visually impaired players. By stimulating imagination, our games erase the boundaries between controlled dreaming and augmented reality.
Scientific studies, artistic values and innovative game mechanics are the core pillars of our studio. By combining them with high quality sound design, we’re aiming to redefine mobile gaming with new perspectives. Don’t miss our game debut, Via Echo, heading to your smartphones in Jun 2024.
Via Memories - FISHERMAN
An extraordinary life. A world of adventure. All in the palm of your hand.
Experience the true story of Slovak national hero Count Móric Beňovský through sound, music and innovative smartphone gameplay.
History becomes an adventure.

Via Echo - hidden object audio game
Would you be able to identify your surroundings only by sound? If you are unsure, we recommend giving a listen to our EGGciting hidden object game packed with inventive mechanics, creative controls, and a cryptic narrative that rewards observant players. In Via Echo, you take upon the role of a brave and imPECKable ornithologist, who has made it her life’s work to save any birds before the inevitable end of the world comes. But there is no chickening out of the apocalypse, so get your mobile phone and fly BEAKfirst into the world of circular echo-locating and unconventional “birdwatching”!
Via Memories - SOLDIER
The story continues.
Step into another chapter of Móric Beňovský’s extraordinary journey and experience the world of an 18th-century soldier through sound, music and interactive gameplay. Face the dangers of the battlefield and rely on your senses, instincts and the sounds around you to navigate the action.
Listen carefully. Trust your instincts. Become the soldier.
