Hi Emily, Interesting enough there was a game sort of like that called the Omega virus. You were basically an astronaut sent to a top secret space station trying to figure out what happen to the space station. When you get their you find out that the station has been taken over by a computer virus, the Omega virus, and it is your job to find it and destroy it. There was a board game version, and I do believe there was a video game version of that game. In either case it was a very cool game. I could see someone making an accessible blind friendly version of that game for us to play.
The point here is that Ishan's idea wasn't necessarily a stupid idea. Just not well thought through since it was meant more as a joke than a serious consideration, but there are aspects of it that could be developed into a serious game if one decided to develop the idea into something more serious.
