I live in the dark... I can relate to the character in this game, and she, definitely could relate to me. I remember playing, the blue jar, and the papa sangre series and the blind legend. I love these games. They give me the freedom to do, the seemingly impossible. I know everyone's review review of this game, comes from a place, based on their own life and experience. I would like to share mine... Firstly... To play this game, I used a set of audio-Technica over the ear monitors. I play the entire game, in two settings, on the steam deck. I did not feel like the game was too short, or too long. The characters in The game, where tangibly real. Human... When I started this game, I had no expectations. I simply enjoyed the game, as it was. I am not going to compare it with anything, as I truly believe that a game, is its own thing. It's own world, with its own story to tell. This is a linear experience. I believe this is absolutely fine, especially for the first of it series. I truly have no reason to believe, that's something like this could not evolve into an absolute open world game. I also believe, given the controls, along without a accused and things based on other games, that this would not be a problem to navigate. There are, after all, RPGs in development, made for those that cannot see. I love the sound stage. Though I believe this game was not made with special audio in mind, the stereo implementation, is nevertheless, effective. I loved all the submissions, though I wish there were more of them. More gear, more characters. More everything. No it isn't to say that this game is lacking. As a whole, I absolutely loved the experience. The games controls are logical and easy to use., The game is emotionally available and offers a variety of choices, based on the kind of person you are. Play your way. When the game is over, I find myself wondering what all of the characters are doing now? Hoping they are okay, wondering what adventures are yet to come? Well I hear from my friends again..? A world has been built here, and I sank myself into it. My home, is that it is only the beginning. A game made for me, to play in a world, that wasn't made for me... We need more games like this. Just because you perhaps, are not visually impaired or blind, doesn't necessarily mean that you will not enjoy this game. If playing a game, is all about new experiences, then why not give it a try. Learn to live another way. Learn to play, another way. Those people that you perhaps think, are significantly limited because they cannot see, perhaps, this may change your perspective. Thank you to the developers and all those involved that came together to create something beautiful. Something very special. Sit back. Close your eyes and see... I think you will find, that this game, has some of the very best graphics, that you will ever see in your lifetime. You get, what you give. If you have an especially incredible imagination, then you are in for an outstanding experience. I am very much looking forward to the next time the fallen squirrel plummets from a tree near me. I promise... I will be right there to catch you. With the the utmost respect and a heart full of gratitude. Kinsman

Absolutely fantastic game - the voice acting is superb, the sound design astonish, and the writing and world building phenomenal. It doesn't feel like a linear story, it feels like you're living in this world, deprived of vision, but with such a clear picture of the people you come across. This is now in my top 5 games. Incredible.

Great experience providing a novel way to interact with games for me. The implications on game design and accessibility is immense. Hope there will be a sequel. 10/10 Recommend Game I DO. (Happy Yoda Noises)

May 2024

I have never played a game like this before and I can almost guarantee you haven't either. A full-fledged RPG conveyed entirely through sound alone, The Vale makes excellent use of audio to engage you in a mix of exploration, battles, stealth, and conversation like any other game of its genre but in ways you've never experienced before. The story is a tightly executed adventure with the supernatural and political intrigue meshed together as you are thrust into the midst of a brewing war that will decide the fate of multiple kingdoms. Not just a novelty, it's a genuinely solid game that is fun to play. I'd recommend only getting it if you have a decent pair of headphones though, positional audio cues are key to the gameplay and being able to make them out isn't really optional.
