A Blind Legend
I'm not entirely sure if this game fits the theme of the sub; I just came across y'all accidentally.
This is an interesting android game that uses stereo sound to "display" a 2-d environment through which the player moves by swiping on their phone. There's nothing at all on the screen. As a sighted player, it's quite a challenge for me to focus on this method of interaction. I'd be curious what other gamers, sighted or otherwise, think of it.
What are some popular audiogames?
The only one I've ever played is Be The Wumpus, and that was more of a demo.
