This serious game is fully accessible to visually impaired people, and is aimed at anyone who’s eager for an original, immersive sensory experience through a ground-breaking video game. And because the player is the character, it will help raise public awareness of this kind of disability.
It is free to download and was co-created thanks to support from a community of fans who helped with the crowdfunding campaign (www.ulule.com/a-blind-legend) and in a co-production with France Culture, a Radio France station.
This hack-and-slash game, with a heroic-fantasy flavour, harnesses the innovative technology of binaural sound, which delivers a gripping 3D soundscape and brings characters and actions vividly to life around the player – as if they were actually in the game!
SOME REVIEWS:
PC Gamer:
“An interesting and enjoyable experience, something worth trying even if you're not visually impaired.”

“It's probably one of the most cleverly designed titles I've experienced in quite some time.”
Gameskinny:
“A Blind Legend is going to be one heck of an experience.”
AFB:
“I would recommend that anyone who is interested should download the game and give it a try.”
Voxludicus:
“The game is worth your attention if you want to try something different for a change.”
Tapxrapidly:
“The unique take of this game is that you do not need a screen to play, just headphones.”
Deepdishent:
“Take a shot in the dark and give A Blind Legend a chance. You may be surprised at what you find when you are not looking.”
A game like QWOP, I Am Bread, Octodad, Steppy Pants, and similar with crazy controls to move the main character. There's no precision, and instead you're just try to move forward in any form you can. Silly Walks introduces household items as the main characters.
