Second prototype of a student-made game (self.Blind)
submitted by Fourzifer
Hello everyone! We are students working on a game where you explore vents above the cells of a prison in order to make an escape plan with the other prisoners.
We are currently testing a microphone input system where you are able to prod characters for information by speaking short phrases to them. Their responses unlock more phrases you can say to other characters in order to get even more information, all while navigating between unseen rooms almost entirely using sounds.
The game is being created with full blind accessibility in mind, but it’s made to be equally enjoyable for sighted players.
Due to the academic background, this prototype is rather scaled down and focused (although less so than the previous prototype), we hope to make a more advanced and "fun" playtest in the future, but this game and your feedback is very important to us and we really appreciate that you take time out of your day to help us.
​
Here is the link to the executable:

We would also be grateful if you could answer our survey after playing the prototype:

If you missed the previous prototype, which we still wouldn't mind also getting feedback on, it is called Prototype 1 - Windows Build on our itch.io.

Sounds like such an awesome game! And even sounds like it would be great to play on an Amazon Alexa device if it’s possible in the future

Thank you for your kind words! And wow, I didn't even know you could play games on Amazon Alexa, so that's news to me. I do have a Google Home, so now I for sure have to try playing games on it

The gameplay concept sounds like Lifeline, a PS2 game where you are a security officer on a space cruiseship that is attacked by aliens, and you have to guide a character through the game by using voice commands. Was a cool idea, but found that the game audio and PS2 headset mic quality would mess up the voice feedback, making it rather frustrating to play. Voice control and response is much much better now, so I'm interested in how your game turns out. Please be sure to port it to the Mac.
