Blind in Thief 2: How This Mod Turns Darkness Into a Feature

What happens when you play Thief blindfolded? The Selection Day mod for Thief 2 turns darkness into a design feature, reimagining stealth mechanics through total blindness.

Players navigate as a blind character using braille machines for limited visibility and solve puzzles via sound cues. Romain Barrilliot called it:

"One of the most unique I've ever played."

Designer Hanover Aldercash recommends 1080p resolution for optimal gameplay, citing vision-based technical constraints.

The mod features surreal environments like a septic tank and art descriptions that remain intentionally ambiguous. To run Selection Day, players must install T2fix and Angelloader.
