Have you ever noticed how (virtually?) every video game that ever existed needs eyeballs on it? No, I'm not talking about advertising. I'm talking about the graphics. Every video game that I ever heard of or appears to be out there to some degree or other relies on sight. They rely on graphics to show the player, show enemies, show actions, show items... even sound-based games like Auditorium still rely on showing you musical 'nodes' to show you where to guide the music flows. To my knowledge, there aren't any games out there that someone could play if they're visually impaired, or even just blindfolded. And so, I set out to create such a game! "Sound Without Sight" puts you as a blind swordsman in the midst of a battlefield. Enemies are closing in on you - you will hear them by the sound of their footsteps. As they get closer and closer, their footsteps become louder and louder. When their footsteps sound very loud to you, press 'Ctrl' to swing your weapon! If you're right, your sword will hit them in a 1-Hit kill, and you may immediately attack again. If you miss, your sword will 'whoosh' through the air, and you'll need a brief second to reset yourself. This demo consists of one (repeating) stage. If you can defeat 20 enemies, you'll hear a great cheer around you! If you get hit 3 times before then... you won't be able to swing your sword again. Either way, the level resets. Trying the game is appreciated; feedback would be fantastic! Please see the link below, and I hope you enjoy the demo! https://geniusdragon.itch.io/sound-without-sight-demo
