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  
review from the AppleVis podcast is available here:

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

Best regards,
Peter
