I mean to each there own of course, but personally I found several of the games 
to be enjoyable. I especially liked The Museum, which I find to be a very well 
done game that stands out among not just jam games, but audio games in general. 
Stealth mechanics, fast action, Simon style audio puzzles, amusing game lore 
via the exhibit voiceovers... ETC. It gives the same vibes as some of the pre 
2010s audio arcade games  (the heyday for those IMO) but in a modern format.

We've also got fishing at night, which is atmospheric and satirical, with some 
actual challenge and replayability to it.

Then there's Lunch Gambit, which I just finished playing. It's like many of the 
standard roguelike card games currently flooding the market, accept for one 
major thing. It incorporates traditional card games like blackjack and poker, 
while also letting you choose paths, swap out cards in your hand, ETC. An 
interesting new take on both genres. And the retro music is extremely catchy as 
well.

I find daymon to be pretty promising as well. It's nothing new exactly, but I 
like what's there so far, and the addition of space and chaos type monsters in 
this roguelike format is still a welcome twist.

I would encourage you to at least give the ones I've mentioned a deeper look. 
Even if they aren't in a complete state right now, they could be the start of 
something much more, and these devs could really use the feedback to motivate 
them in that direction.

Hmmmph.

I doodled with tthe games.

None of them were especially fun, the visual novel was the one I liked, 
butt pittty it was never completed.


However, this realsound dev has some interesting games, most horror 
themed sadly.


What I'd do if I found more scifi games, alien, first contact 
exploration, trek like, not necessarilly invasion, something like beyond 
tthe chiron gate but me as a starship captain would be nice.

Hi everyone

If none of that made sense, don't worry. All you really need to know 
is that a bunch of independent developers got together for a month and 
tried there hand at making blind accessible computer games on a gaming 
website called itch.io . This has happened for the 
last 3 years now, and even though some of these games are naturally 
simple or a bit buggy because of the time limitations and 
inexperience, they can still be a great deal of fun! You may see ideas 
here that you've never seen in either traditional audio games or blind 
playable mainstream games. It lets developers from outside our 
community experiment and learn about making games for us in a low risk 
environment, and it can help inspire them to create even greater 
projects in the future.
Playing these games and voting on them really helps the cause. It 
gives these developers feedback on what worked and what didn't for 
next time. All you need is an account on itch.io  and 
the following link. If you need help, feel free to ask! :slight_smile:
