Our take on A Blind Legend
The bounce point arrives before combat begins: without headphones, the game cannot be played as intended. Players who depend on visual navigation may also hit a wall when the screen provides no video and movement relies on sound cues.
What is A Blind Legend?
A Blind Legend is an audio-only action-adventure in which binaural 3D audio conveys people, movements, and surroundings.
Edward Blake, a blind knight, travels through the High Castle Kingdom with guidance from his daughter Louise. Players navigate the route, steer clear of hazards, and fight threatening foes in a hack-and-slash adventure set within a heroic-fantasy world. Headphones are required. The game presents its narrative and environment through sound, with an audio format that accommodates blind players and players with visual impairments. Development received backing from a crowdfunding community and included a co-production with France Culture, a Radio France station.
