[games_access] cognitive, click and point games

[Javier Mairena]

I know one classic graphic adventure than can be played with mouse like a
click and point game but also can be played with keyboard for a blind.

Was developed in Spain some years ago.
You have to pay for that, if you found some old copy...
But you can try a demo here:

I have one original copy but I do not pass the entire game.
Blind people that have played all the game told me that the begin is really
good, but after it go worse.

> The whispered world has a "magic" button: everything that is interactive

> Do we have some good examples for accessible click and point games?
