The Vale is an interactive audio game for visually impaired and sighted gamers alike. The game is a story driven, action RPG with combat and exploration mechanics that utilize 3D spatial audio and haptic controller feedback.
The Vale is a first step toward our ultimate goal to produce main steam video games that sighted and blind gamers can play together. |
THE GAME
As your elder brother takes his place on the throne… you are made warden of a small keep on the outskirts of the kingdom. Blind from birth and sheltered for much of your childhood, you welcome your exile as a chance for a little adventure...
En route to the borderlands, your caravan is attacked by the vanguard of a huge invading army sweeping eastward toward the capital. You escape but find yourself alone in hostile lands. With the aid of a local shepherd, you must survive the long, dark, dangerous valley that leads home... A journey that will reveal startling truths about your land, your people and your own family. |
