Great concept (though no idea how it relates to the theme of the jam). To start off with I could guess where things were meant to be, and interacting with the world made sense. When it came time to hand the contract to the client, I couldn't guess where she was meant to be though. I would assume if it's your desk then you would know roughly where the other person would be in relation? Clicking around the top of the screen just made tapping noises. I think overall it got the obvious point of the difficulties of blindness across, but games are a primarily visual format and when the only other feedback is narration and canned sound effects it doesn't really work imo

It was a great idea but it was a bit too frustrating for me to enjoy.  After a few minutes I found myself just clicking and dragging around like a madman with no real progress. Maybe I'm just not suited to this type of game? I get that if you're playing a blind character that the screen would be completely black but maybe some kind of hint (especially if the game sees I am struggling) would have helped.
