What players say

Players experience navigating a subway station as a visually impaired person, relying on sound and tactile cues. The game is educational and thought-provoking, though some find it less difficult thanks to the cane's visual feedback. Bugs and missing braille signs are noted, and the short length is acceptable given the intent.
