Operating with mostly non-human/alien senses


2016-07-08
There have been an increasing number of games where players have to operate with senses that are not human, or very alien at least to most humans.

Examples:
* Dark Echo – you see with echolocation
* Duskers – various scanners
* Deadnaut – some sort of radar

I'd like to tag these with something, but I have no idea what to call it.

There's also the increasing number of games that simulate more or less faithfully the experience of being blind.
For example Beyond Eyes you're explicitly blind, but you actually do see, though only up to like 5 meters around you (though this could be handwaved as not full blindness, it's still a way to see the world most people don't).
