Kelpie
Kelpie
A woman escaping from her hunters on a dark night comes across a magical creature.
This is a small narrative audio game I made for the Games for Blind Gamers jam, so it's better if you play with eyes closed! ∪_∪
Click here or here for some descriptions of what the hell a kelpie is.
Tips for a better browser experience:
- Wait for the home screen to appear.
- Click once to enable audio on the browser.
- Put the game in full screen mode.
If you have issues with web audio, please consider to download the Windows version.
[Edit] Use a mouse or a touchscreen to play this game. I didn't take trackpads into account! (sorry).

¡Qué original! Me encanta todo, desde la temática hasta la forma que has decidido implementar cada minijuego ^^
Yeyyy! Muchas gracias por probarlo Luis! :_)
It's not a bad start for a blind person playable game. I do suggest adding in keyboard controls at some point though if you plan on developing this more as a lot of the blind people (and I mean those with no usable sight like myself and not those who can see somewhat) will likely use the keyboard more. The only reason I could play this with the mouse commands is due to a screen reader keystroke that activates the mouse and I'm not sure it worked all that well.
I did have trouble figuring out when to actually run from the hunters too. It got very confusing. The voice parts were great though.
I mention this all as constructive criticism and not to insult you here. These are just my initial thoughts after trying out your game.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I have used the mouse because there are swipe and slide actions in some levels. At some point, I wish it could be played on a touchscreen. Thanks again for playing and comment!
Ah, touch screen makes sense then. The basic mouse controls you have could probably be used on a phone for example. For Ios, I could definitely see how that would work. If you continue this, good luck.
