Out of Sight Games: Fantasy RPG for Blind and Sighted Gamers.
A Hero’s Call is a fantasy RPG developed by two blind people who had a love for gaming before losing their sight. They wanted to be able to play the same kind of games that they use to; so they created Out of Sight Games, which has the goal of developing games that can be played both by blind and sighted people. This makes it possible for blind people to still enjoy games without being isolated from other sighted players. Their first game is called A Hero’s Call. Out of Sight Games is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the game’s voice actors.

Can you master all the manamon?
We’re always excited to see good quality audio games, particularly ones with high bars in sound and game play hit the market. One fault many games suffer from is replay-ability – can I still do cool post-game action and have things feel more random in the story after I’m done? Or have I just wasted $39 of my money for a week’s worth of distractions, anticipation, and nervous fits over not being able to complete my game?
