Hi Tess, I am not sure you have the correct game, Zombies, Run by Adrian Hon of Six to Start's is somewhat accessible. Zombies, Run is written by award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. https://www.zombiesrungame.com/
You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first steps outside. You've barely covered 100 yards when you hear them. They must be close. You can hear every guttural breath, every rattling groan - they're everywhere. Zombies. There's only one thing you can do: Run! You're Runner 5. Hundreds of lives are counting on you. You've got to help your base rebuild from the ruins of civilization by collecting critical supplies while avoiding roving zombie hordes. Can you save them and learn the truth about the zombie apocalypse? Automatically collect crucial items for your base as you run, plus artefacts, notes, voice recordings, and more Use the items you've collected to develop your base and help your surviving population thrive. With a bigger base comes more missions and some unexpected surprises. Running Game & Audio Adventure Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and Windows Phone. We deliver the story straight to your headphones through orders and voice recordings - and back home, you can build and grow your base with the items you've collected. Run Anywhere Zombies, Run! works anywhere and at any speed. You can jog in a park, run along a beach, or walk along a trail, even on treadmills! Keep the survivors alive You automatically collect items like medicine, batteries, first aid kits, baseball bats, underwear and ammo while running - but when you're back home, who needs them more: the soldiers or the doctors? Which buildings need extra defenses? It's up to you - and the bigger your base, the more missions you can play. Where did the zombies come from? What are the leaders of your base planning? There's a deeper mystery to be uncovered, puzzles to be solved, websites to be discovered, documents to be viewed so you can learn the truth of what's happened to the world. Choose your own custom playlists before you start running: the story unfolds in between your tracks through a series of dynamic radio messages and voice recordings. With 30 missions and over 40 runs worth of gameplay, you become the hero in an epic story of humanity's struggle for survival where your running really matters - and there's a deeper mystery to be uncovered as well. Better Fitness Through Science Coming Soon: Zombies, Run! records the distance, time, pace, and calories burned of all your runs, and we're planning RunKeeper integration. You can also hear audio notifications for time, distance, and pace during your run. Using voice over, a blind person has played the first few levels of Zombies Run! He can't figure out how to assign the supplies he has recovered or how to build the hospital. it is currently not possible to assign supplies or put up buildings, I know that at least two people have contacted the developers, and they said that a solution was being worked on, but it could be a few months before it was released. Christina wrote You can now assign your own supplies by creating a zombielink account online at www.zombiesrungame.com You then log into your account via the settings menu in the Zombies Run app on your phone. This way, you can assign supplies on your computer and will update your app. The website is accessible; I had no problem assigning supplies. alex wrote Another way is to extract the audio files from the app, and listen to them on the computer as they are ordinary mp3s. yes I know its cheating, but why should I have to wait for the developers to take there time getting the app accessible. I mostly got the app for the story anyway, not for the fitness element. Amy wrote, But really, running away from zombies with this app is probably the most exciting workout ever. It's incredibly immersive, and the stoyline feels like a novel. Last workout, my helicopter crash landed outside of the base because a mysterious force shot it down with an RPG, and I was out in the middle of the desert with all these flesh eating zombies, and then this radio tower guy (with a REALLY attractive voice) contacted me and made me run through a hospital, where his old flame turned out to be, ha, ha, no. I refuse to spoil the storyline. It's too amazing. Also, everyone has British accents! I secretly bought the game for that reason alone. The zombies were a bonus. Requires iOS 5 or above. Works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPod Touch 3rd gen and 4th gen. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Accelerometer mode can dramatically decrease battery life. $7.99 US £5.49) Rated 12+ for the following: Frequent/Intense Horror/Fear Themes Infrequent/Mild Profanity or Crude Humor Infrequent/Mild Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity Frequent/Intense Realistic Violence ----- Original Message ----- From: Tess To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2014 12:43 AM Subject: RE: Response from Makers of "The Walk" Zombies run is totally not accessible. I have the app, and they themselves also told me that they won't make it accessible due to the graphical nature of the thing. I believe other folks also said the same thing recently that it wasn't accessible. Not sure where you read that it was, and unless it has changed, it isn't accessible and they don't plan on making it accessible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 10:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Response from Makers of "The Walk" Hi all, Turns out the response I got earlier *did* have text, it was just buried further down. Sadly, it isn't good news. Here you go: Brad Porter, May 14 04:00 PM: Hi Mehgcap, Thanks for your email! I'm afraid that, due to the heavily visual nature of The Walk, we are not currently able to make it fully accessible. As such, I cannot currently recommend that you purchase the app if you are planning to use it exclusively with VoiceOver. I'm sorry that I could not be of more assistance in this case. All the best, Brad So there you have it. I told him I'd be happy to answer questions, and if they need more feedback they should post on applevis.com. Again, please contact them if this app is something you'd be interested in using. Essentially, you have to solve a mystery, collect items, and complete levels, all done by physically walking around. You can pick up things as you move, unlock special items, and more. It sounds like a great app for those who walk with any frequency, but it is not accessible. What gets me is that this company's other app, Zombies Run, was re-designed to be accessible. As I recall, they made a big deal about it, and even posted a blog all about what they learned while adding Voiceover compatibility. ZR is also visual, yet it is usable and this new app is not? Had they said it is being worked on, or planned for a future upgrade, i'd be okay. But to basically say it isn't an option is beyond the pale for me. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
