Author's NoteWe apologise in advance for having to keep the price at 19.90 EUR and not less, but unfortunately we had to dub loads more text (including that where the lead character describes the locations he’s in) and having worked really hard to ensure playability for all, with long, complex testing phases and loads of effort in all, the production phase was much costlier than expected. But we strongly believe that many video games can and must be made accessible to the blind and the sight impaired, and so we decided to take this risk. This is our passion and our mission, and we feel that this kind of game (i.e. adventure games) is PERFECT for playing in audiogame mode. So please understand the reason why we had to set this price, and help us when you can to spread the word about this adventure, in all senses, that we have embarked on together. Thanks for your understanding, and thanks again to all those who decide to purchase the game.We fully intend to continue along this road and produce other games. If we succeed in selling enough copies to break even we will have the economic sustainability to continue to produce videogrames that are truly accessible to all. And not only Medieval or adventure games! Yours for eternity, Ivan Venturi (creator, script writer, designer and producer of the Eymerich project) AUDIOGAME: Eymerich is a video game for everyone, but we have produced a version with no graphics for blind audiences around the world, making the game easier to run on any PC, MAC or iDevice, and making the download quicker. LINK TO ITALIAN REVIEWS (for anyone who understands Italian...) In Italy, where our game was published in late 2012, it is already a success. If you can read, understand or translate from Italian, here are some articles and reviews that talk about it:
