[Awareness] Video game lets players immerse themselves in world of the blind

Yet another example of how awareness-raising can take on a fun and entertaining form as well. Kudos to the developers for taking this on!

"Pulse is a first person, suspense/survival game in which you play as a young blind girl named Eva.
First person? Blind? What's the catch? Eva uses a process similar to echolocation to "see" her environment.

Sounds in the world allow her to imagine what the area looks like, and in turn allows the player to navigate."
