Description	nnngggghhh' was funnily enough the first word that I uttered after I saw this game. The black screen with an intentional complete lack of graphics portrays a realistic simulation of lacking the ability to see. An amusing crap idea in this game is that when prompted to Try Again? your keyboard response is completely ignored, and you will get another go anyway. In game keys are QAOP and SPACE. I can only guess that the loading screen was artfully lifted from an Alison Moyet video.
Comments	This one caused much distraction in the workplace when workmates started playing it. For those who didn't know who she was, Helen Keller was quickly Googled for followed shortly thereafter by a rapid scan of her Wikipedia article. A solid representation of what it is like to lose the sense of sight is frighteningly realised here in this brutally all-too-real simulation. It can only end in tears - and I hope that's not tears of laughter you heartless bunch! The loading screen needs framing and sticking in the Tate.
