It’s entertaining, it’s fun, it’s a great pastime. It’s a… video game?
Lost and Hound is a video game specifically designed to be accessible for people with vision loss. It looks like a regular game, but it can be completed successfully with using audio alone – as tracking dog Biscuit, the player follows an audio trail that reflects a dog’s powerful sense of hearing to complete a rescue mission.
Each level draws inspiration from real-life search and rescue dog situations, such as sniffing out survivors in rubble after earthquakes and in collapsed mines.
The developer says players who are blind or have low vision tend to be better at the game than sighted players, because those with sight don’t use sound to inform their decisions – for them it’s more reactionary.
