85/100

Purple Friday is a unique and daring entry into the mobile market, specifically designed as an audio-first adventure. While it’s perfectly playable for sighted users, its primary goal is to provide a rich, immersive experience for the blind and visually impaired. Using binaural audio technology, the game creates a 3D soundscape that is incredibly vivid. You can literally 'hear' the environment around you, from distant whispers to footsteps echoing in a hallway.

The navigation is handled through simple swipe gestures, which makes it very accessible. The story is a gripping mystery filled with danger and intrigue, supported by a high-quality professional voice cast. Exploring locations like a mysterious island or the belly of a whale through sound alone is a fascinating exercise in imagination. It’s an important piece of software that proves games can be inclusive without sacrificing production value or narrative tension.

Wonderful game
Tue Apr 18 2023 A ustedes que les importa

excellent game i really felt like i was back in 2008 or 2011 trapped in a gigantic lab. Excellent work by the voice actors, the atmosphere really matches perfectly, I hope that new updates will be released in the future, although I would like a space-time race where you will test how fast your reflexes are. I'm willing to pay for that update if it costs money, since there aren't many games like these I hope you guys keep up the good work. And the most wonderful thing about this game are the mysteries that it holds, for example it is still unknown at what time the history of the game takes place, the only clue I have is that it is futuristic. The mysteries add much more atmosphere to the game, I hope there will be future mysteries although there are many mysteries to solve.

One of the best audio games I’ve played

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this one based on the description, but I love it. Everything from the sound design to the concept of the traveling time soda is amazing. The can drop to indicate scene changes is a nice touch to. hopefully games like Joe’s memory are accessible as well.

It’s OK

This game is very short, which I didn’t expect for the price tag. If you’re going to buy this game, keep enrolling that there’s more story than action. I do have to give the developer props if they’re a small development team. The game is OK but not the best that I played.
