I loved the concept of the game. My mic wasn't exactly cooperating so I couldn't full on play but I appreaicate the level of experimentation with this. This could be a way for blind or other similarly visually impaired people to play games. Don't give up on this idea!

the concept is very cool and it gives blind people a chance  to play games, and using microphone as a game mechanic is very ambitious unfortunately the game did not work on my side this may be due to my mic but still cool concept which suits the theme

Cool concept, pretty bad execution unfortunately. But this was a really ambitious design for a Game Jam that breaks norms, which I can respect.

I gave up  on playing with my eyes closed because the game was way easier with my eyes open, which kinda defeats the purpose. I had no clue how to finish the game, or if I even could, and then gave up after like 20 minutes.

Needs a lot of development work, but it's a good start!

This is an amazing idea the only problem is that sometimes it wont register what I tell it. In the beginning of the game when you first choose a direction you could've also added a visual to let us know we started moving but further than that it was a lot of fun

I can't comment much on the gameplay because i only managed to get the Begin command to work... Although i will say, saying "help" repeatedly during the atmospheric breathing and rain sounds really made me feel in need of Help XD. In terms of aesthetic and story telling i absolutely loved it. To make a game that's accessible to blind players as well as their avatar in-universe being blind and chosen for this job in particular because of their disability was an amazing choice. Sound was wonderful and although you seemed to of had a bit of an unintentional pause on one of your lines it did not break my immersion too much. I hope there's a way for me to experience the whole thing in future ^^

The concept and setting of the game is very interesting. It definitely grabbed my attention and the voice effect and story did so as well.

Unfortunately, voice commands were not being picked up on my microphone. Whether it be pronunciation or accent or some other issue, I have not been able to input any voice commands after numerous attempts. 

The idea of a voice controlled game is very unique and I would love to see this work out better in future. Perhaps consider a traditional control scheme (i.e. keyboard/mouse) as a back up in case voice prompts bug out.

Sadly, I said help so many times & nothing happened. I changed different mics, but no dice. Sorry. I liked the the voice effects and the weird storyline. Visuals were great.

Really interesting concept. I was really impressed by the voice detection and recognition as 95% of the time it responded correctly to the voice commands I gave.

I also really like the accessibility of this game. So often visuals become our focus but audio is just as important and this game does an excellent job of demonstrating that.

I would be very interested in seeing how this game and concept progresses further.

Well done.

Awesome concept and take on the theme! Love the innovative idea to use voice recognition and I would say something about the visuals but I played with my eyes closed so I couldn't.

The idea is brilliant. I really like the whole mic idea. However, like another member of my group, I couldn't get it to work properly all the time, but I must say the game was still interesting to play and with more polish it could make for a great game for those with accessibility issues. I really like the simple art style: it makes the game look visually polished even within its simplicity.

Unfortunately i couldnt get the game to work with the mic, sometimes the commands would work and other times it wouldnt, another thing was that i found the intro screen way too long, when you restarted the game you would have to wait for the tutorial to finish each time to play. But otherwise if it had more time to get polished im sure it would be great for people with accessibility issues

Thanks for your feedback. like you said the commands do have some trouble as voice recognition isn't 100%  hope to improve it with lots more testing on many different users. The intro could be skipped at any time by saying begin, Ill indicate that if I make further changes. Really helpful feedback.

I love the idea and am impressed that there is usage of mic inputs for actions

Amazing Concept! Love it! Just had some difficulty operating with the mic, but got used to it eventually!
