Wow. Haven't finish this game yet, but it's absolutely wonderful. A beautiful execution of a game where you are MEANT to play with your eyes closed The Vale: Shadow of the Crown is such a fascinating experience. I am not blind, though I do find my eyes feel strained a lot, and it's a wonderful experience to be able to have a video game I can play fully blindfolded and give my eyes a rest from screens while still gaming (since I have no Mario 64 speedrunner skills :P). This game is very clear about the fact that it's all sound, and I hope to replay this game with speakers rather than headphones in the future to get a more full experience of being blind in the world. It feels incredibly immersive to be surrounded by the sounds of the world and being left to imagine the sights rather than seeing them on a screen in front of you, and is an experience that no other game I know of has to offer. I really recommend giving this game a try whether you are a more casual or pro gamer, as it's a unique and fun experience that you are unlikely to get from any other game.

I am sighted, but loved this game! It's innovative and has an engaging story and interesting characters. Would love a sequel and more games in this vein!

I feel like I have to mention I am blind and have been since birth. If I have to explain how I get around in daily life, I tell them to play this game. The voice acting is on par with a top quality radio drama, the mechanic is so instinctive I was using real life mobility skills to travel and oh my days the story had me in floods of tears. Forget best audio only game, this is the best game I have ever played. The only complaint I have is that it is criminally short. Some games like this, Lost In Blindness, A Blind Legend, they feel like vegitables. They're games designed to show people what life is like for people like me. This game not only feels like a great game, but it blows those others out of the water for actual real life skills we use. The worlds are some of the best sound design I've heard anywhere, the fighting is awesome, the cain reference is really relatable, and you feel empowered to be Alex. I kind of just want a free roam option so I can just chill and explore the world with nothing to do, but then I'd never leave the house. 11/10, no notes.
