[NCABS] Voice of the Ancients, a mobile game made for blind and visually impaired people

[Peter Sallai]

Dear members of North Carolina Association of Blind Students List,

I am Peter Sallai, a mobile game developer. I specialize in creating games  
for blind and visually impaired individuals.

I would like to introduce my unique voice-based iPhone game, Voice of the  
Ancients (VOTA). I believe this game could be a fun and engaging challenge  
for members of your blind community.

Voice of the Ancients is an adventure game. You are in your fourth year in  
the French Foreign Legion in the Sahara when a dying teammate gives you his  
father's diary. The diary contains clues to a long-lost temple full of  
treasures. After you set out on the temple's trail, you realize that a  
secret organization, the "Society of the Ancients," is also searching for  
the temple. So, in addition to solving the diary's mystery, you must escape  
from the Society.

VOTA is optimized for and tested with the help of the blind community. The  
game is controlled entirely by voice. So, playing the game is like a  
conversation. You don't even need to touch your mobile after starting the  
game.

A short feedback from a blind Canadian player: "Terrific! I had so much fun  
going through this, and found that the puzzles got harder with progression  
to the game, which is something I do like a lot. Thank you for making more  
accessible games for us! This one really rocks, I hope you do more in the  
future."

You can find the game in the App Store:

If you don't like to open links from emails, you can also search for the  
game in the iPhone's App Store by its name: Voice of the Ancients

If you don't have the time to try it but want a short overview of the game,  
a review from the AppleVis community is available at this link:

I hope your community will enjoy this game. Feel free to contact me with  
any questions or feedback or need support.

Best regards,
Peter
