Hi, my names Alex and I am an avid dark souls player. Recently I was thinking how it would be very difficult to play dark souls if I was visually impaired, and I wanted to do something about it. I’ve decided to start a podcast where I play through dark souls while describing everything thats happening on screen in as much detail as possible. Im new to this kind of thing but my aim is to make my favourite game as accessible as possible. Thanks for listening and if this appeals to you heres the link on spotify.

Yup I was just talking to my friends about this with Elden Ring.
I have decent central vision to play games but Dark Souls is just too well dark. I need it to be color shifted to like unicorn and sparkly rainbow tier colors lol

Back when my sight was good I loved dark souks. Now, my eye sight isn't good enough to play. I would be interested in this. It's like a narrated "let's play".

Its exactly like a narrated lets play, if you end up giving it a listen tell me what you think and what i could improve on! If even one person who cant play enjoys the podcast ill be happy

Listened to the first episode. Great job! I remember trying to play this when it first came out and you are much better at the game than me. Great pick of the str based character. I'll definitely be listening to the future episodes. Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for your support! In the first episode i was still getting used to describing things while playing, but in the second i feel like i did better. Do you have any advice to make it better for you in future?

Listened to the second episode last night. I agree with you that you did a better job describing things in the second episode and i really enjoyed the second episode. I don't really have any advice except that I think the more you do these the better your descriptions will be. I'm sure the boss fights are not easy while trying to describe what is happening. Overall great series, you have a good speaking voice and you describe things very well. Given the amount of visual detail the game has this is not an easy task and I'm sure you'll get even better with time. Keep it up and I plan on listening to any more you make!

This is why I love the Internet! I’ve heard people like Jacksepticeye play Elden ring and I love it, but he doesn’t describe things in this way.
This is truly amazing my dude, if you have PayPal I am 100% willing to give you some cash to say thank you if you want.
I have one question though, would you be able to put it on other podcast apps? Like overcast? If not, I will listen to it on my PC it’s just that it keeps locking my phone and stopping the audio.
