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!

Pros and cons of A Blind Legend app for iPhone and iPad

A Blind Legend app good for

This is what I m talking about when apps on phones should be innovative, this idea is perfect for a phone. The only downside is the voice actors arent convincing, I can imagine a paid version with top notch actors and there you have the perfect game
This is a truly awesome experience. I never thought that a game which deprives me of my sense of sight could be truly immersive. I dont want to spoil anything here, but I will say this: you have to play this game.
This game is amazing, even just the concept of it is amazing. The instructions are easy to understand and once you get the hang of it its pretty fun. The only part I find a little irritating is the automated voice but I can adapt to that. It is a little challenging for because of my own lack of coordination and my own inexperience but overall it is fun. I cant wait to see how this jump starts the blind game industry. I hope there will be more games like this soon.
Hard but fun. Being blind is a interesting mechanic I wish more games would try new stuff like that.
Its fun but it takes a lot of patience to play at some points in time
Really interesting concept with an even better outcome than I expected.

Some bad moments

I downloaded the app but its content wont downloading... I have waited several hours
Straight away game is not recognizing double taps, waited for another in game patch then was stuck with voice repeating "new game" every time Im double tapping
It seems alright, but once I start, when it says that the voice should sound on the left, it doesnt. It all sounds the same. Im wearing headphones, too. If you could fix this, though, Im definitely going to play!
Id like to see this game again when it works. It doesnt recognize double taps when it asks for them.
Ok the first problem is when your striking sometimes it dosent even show that you hit and when you block you could still get hit
This game is good but I would love some better directions such as "2 steps to the right" I got very frustrated without this
