The Keeper - Curse of the Wretched

Devilishly dark voice acting, rich lore, tasteful music, multiple endings, and innovative gameplay - play The Keeper now!

This is a game for blind gamers and is played without any visuals. As it relies heavily on audio, we recommend playing it with headphones.

It was developed within a month and submitted to two game jams for blind players:

• https://itch.io/jam/blind-accessible-game-jam-2

Notes

Spoiler: Visuals & Cheats

During game development, a visual representation was included for debugging purposes. Additionally, there is a cheat key to skip to the final section of the game (after all 4 instrument quests have been finished).
For both, you first activate Debug Mode with F9.
You can then turn on/off visuals with L, and skip to the final section with K.

Post-Jam Version (1.05):
This version has added controls for atmosphere volume as well as better hints for the final melody. The web version was updated as well.
