Does the system have a cluster of arrow keys or buttons? What I like is
spoken
compass direction verification using those, or navigating with my own
knowledge, not left or right. If the the audio adventure game Descent
into Madness is still around, you might get an idea of how that works,
though it's been a long time since I played with it. The only problem
seemed to be that I couldn't get out of the game or didn't know how to
move any further.

There are many times when we use the ABCD buttons for North South East
and West.
We discovered it was best to standardise this between games, so we
always design with A and D for West and East, then B and C for North
and South. We also introduce the controls in that order.
This might sound strange, but in testing we found people were most
comfortable with hearing the controls as Left then Right, Up then
Down. We think there's something in the way people perceive the
controls, or in how humans create a visual perception.
Up until now, we've always used compass directions as a way of
navigating, but I managed to build a new way which appears in the
upcoming Bank Robbing Bunnies. In this new style, one of our Bunnies
steals a car and has to stealthily drive it using A to turn left, D to
turn right, B to continue forward, or C to park and lay low whilst the
cops look for you.
So, instead of pressing a button to go North, you now press buttons to
change direction. If you are facing East and press to turn left,
you'll end up facing North.
During this game, you've got to drive across the city. If you hear the
cops you need to go quiet, and there is a hidden challenge in that
there are three one way streets. There's a bonus if you can find and
go down them all.
