BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space: An Accessible VR Adventure

Get ready to embark on an intergalactic journey like no other as "BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space" is set to launch on PlayStation VR2 on October 10th. Created by indie developer Changingday, based in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland, this innovative VR game is designed not just for gamers but specifically for autistic players, with accessibility at its core.

A Galactic Adventure with Accessibility in Mind

BLINNK takes players on an unforgettable adventure aboard the Space Station Norpopolis. As you step into the shoes of BLINNK, a lovable robot companion, your mission is to wrangle mischievous aliens known as Groobs who have created chaos onboard. Armed with your trusty Vacuumizer 3000, you'll go undercover in a variety of otherworldly situations, from scrubbing alien teeth at Nazel's Dental Practice to fishing for extraterrestrial creatures in the station's Park and fixing robots at the high-tech Robo Workshop.

Changingday's Debut Game

BLINNK marks Changingday's debut in the gaming world, and it's a project close to their hearts. The founders, Alison and Nick Lang, have an autistic daughter, and they're passionate about leveraging VR to create meaningful experiences for players like her. Alison Lang expressed their excitement, stating, "We're so excited to release BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space. 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."
