Looking for feedback from the visually impaired community on an audio survival horror game. (self.Blind)
submitted by Velvara
Hello Everyone!
I'm part of a team working on a survival horror audio game called "Blind Fright". It's a game that's meant to be played with headphones and has no visual cues whatsoever. We've been prototyping some navigation systems, but we need some feedback to see if our systems are truly accessible to the visually impaired community.
So, if any of you have the time to test it out and give us some feedback on your experience, it would mean the world to us!
Right now we're using text-to-speech, but we think it would be pretty nice to have all the voices played by visually impaired professional voice actors and actresses, so i'll be posting again in the next few days with the job opening details.
You can download the link to the demo below. The current demo is for Windows 64-bit computers only. We're still working on the Mac version. Thank you all for your time and for any feedback you can provide!

Another forum you could advertise this is at forum.audiogames.net When you have a version for macOS, you can post to www.applevis.com

Hi there, I just tried your game out - I wanted to do it sooner but computer trouble got in the way. Anyway, the navigation system you come up with is decent, the sounds aren't obnoxious so don't ruin the atmosphere. I was able to get my way around easily enough and I must say I really love the atmosphere. All the little background sounds like russling creaking trees, the frogs or whatever those things are on the bridge, coupled with really well-done spacial sound and environmental effects like the music from the pub or church getting muffled when you're outside, it all works really well. I can't wait to see what you do with this project and I'm definitely looking forward to what's next!

Cool, I'm actually one of those aformentioned blind voice actors; also a composer, sound designer and writer. I'll certainly check this out. One immediate thought before I start is to wonder if you have a specific reason to put the word blind in the title. If it's contextual to the story, great. Seems like sooooo many games (for the blind), have the word audio or blind in them. I've always wondered why that is. Either way though, I'll certainly give it a try.
