Get to Know About Clear Vision
You know those days when you’re just chilling and you stumble onto a simple game that somehow hooks you in? That’s exactly what happened to me with Clear Vision. It’s this stick-figure, first-person shooter where you play as Tyler, a guy who lost his sight in a car accident and then got some mysterious implant that lets him see again—only now he’s a sniper-for-hire. The whole premise sounds a bit dark, but the game leans into a sort of dry, almost deadpan humor that keeps it oddly charming.
What really got me was how straightforward the mechanics are. You drag to aim, release to fire, and each level gives you a picture of your target with a few instructions. Sometimes it’s “only shoot the guard,” other times you’ve got to take out multiple bad guys without getting spotted. There’s no fancy upgrades or skill trees—just pure marksmanship. And yeah, you can totally feel like a pro once you nail that perfect one-shot headshot.
As you move through each mission, the story unfolds in these little flashbacks and banter between Tyler and his handler. You pick up snippets about Tyler’s personal life, some regrets he’s haunted by, and odd little jokes about the absurdity of his job. By the time you finish the episodes, you almost feel like you know the guy. There’s a nice balance between moments of tension—when you’ve got to steady your aim—and these short, almost philosophical pauses where you get to learn about your character.
Honestly, it’s the kind of game you can jump into for five minutes or binge for an hour, and it never gets old. Maybe it’s the minimalist art style or the tight, clean gameplay, but there’s something strangely satisfying about lining up that shot and watching everything click into place. If you’ve ever fancied yourself a sniper—or just want a quick hit of arcade-y fun—Clear Vision is worth a shot.
