An intriquing new game with a very interesting twist! You can view some screenshots here. What if the things in the night didn't just go bump? BlindSide is a terrifying new audio-only adventure game set in a world you'll never see! BlindSide uses custom audio algorithms to turn any pair of stereo headphones into simulated surround sound. Using only your ears, you’ll to learn how to explore the darkness and make your way through the fully physical world surrounding you. But watch out! There are monsters roaming the dark, and you must find a way to stay alive while trying to unravel the mystery of why you can no longer see. With over 1000 sound effects and pieces of dialogue, challenging gameplay, and a new level of audio-based horror, BlindSide presents the opportunity for both sighted and visually impaired gamers to enjoy an identically nightmare-inducing gameplay experience.

I have trouble when a game has nighttime scenes let alone no graphics at all.

I imagine that the sight impaired are probably better on the keyboard than we are. They have more reason to learn how to type without looking than we do. I unfortunately would be lost indeed. Very true Ana. I am considered legally blind In my left eye (truth, Chief has met me) and went to a school for the blind back in the 70's. And even though I Could still see, i had to take Braille and cane classes.. just in case... So you can imagine how excited I am about this game! And it's true: I've learned to type close to 70 words/minute without looking or hunt and pecking  I'm pretty proud of that. Edit: in case any of you are wondering, the braille spelling of BLINDSIDE is correct, there's an all-important symbol missing to capitalize the first letter of the word, which is a single solitary dot. Here's a link to the Omniglot page to help put things in perspective: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/braille.htm

my comments will be on your desk  i've always had above average hearing. So if the sound quality is as good as they promise (especially depth-wise), I'll have a ball! here's an example : When I was taking my cane class (blindfolded in my case of course), I could tell you whether the doors were open or closed in a hallway as I was passing them, just by the chnge in sound/air density/echolocation). My best friend who is totally blind, can do it too, and then some. He could give an estimate of how furnished or cluttered a room was. Maybe I should compare notes with Daredevil hmmm? He better not suggest I bathe in radioactive gunk though

not quite Becky. To enhance depth perception you can also whistle or clap your hands. Think of bats. It's about the same principle. You can try this at home too. Go to a cluttered room and an empty room in your home. You'll get my meaning. EDIT: hang on a sec. you'll love this. Follow this link: http://www.onoir.com/MTL/en/frames.htmI went there with some coleagues a couple years ago and you wouldn't believe the pranks i played on them

you could, unless said implement ends up in your nose or someone's else's eye OUCH! But something tells me you're way too smart and point the fork away from your face hahha the most fun I had with my colleagues was turning their plates just as they said they'd figured out where the food was  imagine going for the spuds and you end up pushing your meat off the plate! HECK, they played pranks on me at work, so why not get even
