Escape From Blindness

New: wrong answers are announced, the first hint is available right away, and Replay keeps your progress.

Escape From Blindness is an escape game you play entirely by ear, with VoiceOver, the iPhone's built-in screen reader.

Jack the explorer is trapped deep in a cavern with no torch left. The screen stays black: your ears guide you. Listen to the descriptions, explore each area with your finger, find the codes and solve the riddles to help him get out.

WHO IS IT FOR? • Visually impaired players who use VoiceOver every day. • Sighted players curious to discover how people use an iPhone without seeing it. A real challenge!

THE GAME • 4 chapters and 12 levels: the Ice Cave, the Lost City, the Hidden Valley and the Hidden Tomb. • Choices to make, door codes to find, passwords to remember and rooms to search. • Hints when you are stuck: the first one is available right away, and the game tells you when the next one comes. • Your progress is saved, and you can replay from chapter 1 without losing it. • Sound effects and music, even in silent mode. • In English and French.

VoiceOver is required to play: no cheating! The game shows you how to turn it on with a triple-click.
