Sorry in advance if you've seen these before and/or they are old. I just now have some time to come up for air, only to dive back into a sea of (dwindling!) old emails. - Audio Game Review: A Blind Legend from DOWiNO and France Culture, by Jamie Pauls A Blind Legend is an audio game for iOS and Android platforms that features an interesting plot, high-quality audio and voice acting, and a well-designed user interface. There are some areas of the game that need work, most notably the awkward translations from French to English. Also, I experienced a few times when I wasn't able to select menu items properly in the game, and was forced to restart before I could continue on. - Delight Games: A Review from the Blind Perspective If you enjoy playing interactive fiction, but don't enjoy solving extremely hard puzzles at every turn, I would encourage you to play through the titles in the Delight Games series.

I don't think personally that I've seen an individual feature be covered by so many journalists before: https://s18.postimg.io/4uq0boo3b/makephotogallery_net_1472566116.jpg That's simply from mentioning it in the feature list in their presskit, nice to see accessibility resulting in lots of mainstream press positivity. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
