I could not play this game relying just on audio. It's just a drone that indicates that you're headed in the right direction. I would have been more helpful if, say, you followed the sound of the child crying out. Having the sound indicating that you're going in the right direction be unpleasant was also an odd choice. I can see so when I opened my eyes, I could play the game. I had to quit the first real level before I returned to the mother, and then had to repeat it. I just went to the location that I thought I had found the boy, but that didn't work. The game wanted me to follow the white dots the entire way. It was fairly tedious. Also, I noticed that some instructions are only visible on the screen and are not narrated for blind players. If you're blind and want something to play, I recommend The Vale: Shadow of the Crown. This game has no visuals and so it really is fully accessible to blind players.

About This Game
As Biscuit your hearing will allow you to access information that’s inaccessible to humans. Pause and look around to hear in a straight line for a very large distance. Move, and you'll be able to hear what's around you in very sharp detail. Hear through walls, hear people's heartbeats, you'll be able to sense both danger and the people you're tracking from very far away.
Using your superior sense of smell you’ll be able to scent track your way into your role as the world's first doggo detective. Scent in Lost and Hound is represented by a low, pleasant humming sound. Similar to making your way through a maze where the way out would be invisible under normal circumstances, subtle sound or scent cues will guide you to your query.
As Biscuit you’ll travel around the world taking on many of the roles of real-world working dogs. From working in a hospital to assist with seizure detection and detecting cancer to herding sheep in the rough, Australian outback. Your work as a K9 tracker will take you to Japan, the Swiss Alps, the American wilderness, and many other locales. In between each mission, you’ll have the option to complete mini levels to earn extra money and travel to more exotic locations.

- Travel around the world working as the strong-willed Corgi Biscuit.
- Solve crimes, track down missing people, and assist those in need.

This game did not have the accessibility requirements I was requiring. The sound proximity option isn't a viable option because it measures sound on a flat plane. So, even if there is a small hill in front of the dog, it marks it as an obstacle to avoid even though it can be climbed. Secondly, the tutorial is supposed to give sound queues about following the trail, and it it supposed to increase in pitch, but I found the sound did not increase in pitch at all. The pitch seemed to increase in the next couple levels, so it seems to work in most cases. It's a bummer it didn't work for me in the very first experience which made me confused. I really want to like this game, but I think it still needs quite a bit of work.
