I'm thinking of making a mobile game accessible for blind users, would anyone actually play it? (self.Blind)
submitted 7y ago by Analog24
My friend and I are thinking about making a mobile game that would be possible to play using only the audio feedback. There will be visuals as well but they will be completely complementary to the audio, so you could play it using only the audio or only the visual display. We wanted to know if this is something that people would be interested in or willing to pay for.

Yes I would definitely play it, as well as many other blind people. There are several audio games on mobile devices, most of them with no story line, cheesey voice acting, and cartoonish sounds. Maybe you two will be different haha.

YES! There are many, many successful audio-only mobile games. See:

and:
http://www.applevis.com
For sites that can list them for you, and be a good place to promote your game. I can even think of 2 audio-only games that were kickstarted successfully.

Yes! My son's friends could play it to better understand his experience as a visually impaired person. He's 12.

Yep there is a fantastic game on iOS like this. Trying to remember what it is called. Essentially you hold your finger on the screen and it makes 'walking noises' and plays ambient noise. It sounds like your in a tunnel. Then you walk up or down, left or right to avoid things and reach the end of a maze.
The screen is totally black and when you touch the screen light pulses from your finger and illuminates in a small field of view around where you are touching.
