Exhibition of audio games with support for visually impaired gamers

As gamers, we recently got used to the visual side of games being the biggest draw and having the biggest impact. But what happens when we switch off the visual and all gamers have left is their hearing? Wargaming isn’t just for visually impaired. Let’s all open our ears and plunge into these amazing and unique worlds together.
