Dear members of Pennsylvania Capital Chapter,
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.
Here's a brief testimonial 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 have the time to try it but would like a brief overview, a

I hope your community enjoys this game. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions, feedback, or support needs.
Best regards,
Peter
