Description

It’s the first-ever mobile action-adventure game without video – where ears replace eyes!
Discover the original, innovative sensory experience of binaural 3D sound.

HEADPHONES ARE COMPULSORY!
AUDIO GAME FULLY ACCESSIBLE TO BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

Your eyes will be of no help.
So close them, sharpen your hearing and your blade…
And embark on an epic, perilous rite of passage.

How do you play? 

Put on your headphones and use your smartphone’s touchscreen like a joystick:

- to move around freely;
- to fight using your sword;
- to defend yourself and protect yourself with your shield during epic fights;
- to repel your enemies and perform combos!

Live the adventures of Edward Blake, the famous blind knight! Guided by your daughter Louise, you must find your way and avoid the many traps that lie in store in the High Castle Kingdom, while confronting dangerous enemies!

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!

Love the game except for

I will give this game five stars definitely. The only thing keeping me from doing so is that I have reached this certain level. At the certain level the Blind legend character is walking on a snowy mountain following the instructions of his daughter. When it gets to a certain point after fighting off the monster the character has to rush before some other people start looking for him again. At a certain point the person who is looking for him starts walking up towards him every time at this point my character gets killed. I have even tried several times to go back thinking that it was just me not reacting in time. When I did I want to put out my sword on the game and I could not put it out in time I don’t know if it is that my reaction is too slow for that though so we’re just won’t go out and it could be a bug with the game. I have tried this several times leading me to think that maybe it is caused by something wrong with the game. Amazing game awesome sounds and it really makes you feel like you are in the game but if this could be what the heck that would be great.

A wonderfully immersive & imaginative experience for users of any sight!

As a VI User myself I was skeptical at how an "audio only" Game could be. To my surprise, ABL succeeded on all levels! The sound design was stellar! When you put your EarPods or headphones on you'll be transported to a magical world where chivalry is not dead and logic and fortitude are a must! This is truly a scintillating, 3- Dimensional aural experience. For each of the 27seems that you traverse through they are replete with all kinds of environmental sounds & sound effects native to that particular scene . Each seen is a unique Realm onto itself, imploring you to fight mythical beasts, take on hordes of marauders and navigate through inhospitable terrains all to rescue your wife Caroline who was captured by the scoundrel king Thork! Game play is challenging but not impossible. The only criticism is it occasionally freezes, but a simple touch of the home button on your iPhone usually brings you back to where You left off, overall not that bad though. As for the profanity, I was lucky if I heard any more than several times the entire game. Just completing the game today I found this a incredibly fun experience! Sing this is my first audio game, ABL has set the bar high for other games to live up to!

Transported to another word!!!

The immersive game experience is out of this world, the controls are also made so that the game has a challenging aspect to it in addition to the awesome story telling. This really embodies the present day hype with AI, but just with audio. A great game to play if your eyes are strained from the days work and want to relax your eyes but still have fun. Also a great way for those visually impaired to play video game :) Really hope there are more games to come out with similar mechanics and even more variety in gaming controls.
