In this podcast, Thomas Domville explores RYFT: A Timely Manor for iOS, an immersive audio-based mystery-adventure game designed for hands-free, voice-activated play. Inspired by classics like Myst, Monkey Island, and Zork, RYFT offers a unique experience where players navigate and interact entirely through voice commands.

Game Overview:

Setting: Players find themselves in Nexus Manor, a mysterious mansion beyond time, with no recollection of how they got there. Armed with a cryptic stone tablet covered in strange symbols, they must explore the estate to unravel its secrets.
Gameplay: This fully audio-driven game allows players to:
- Move using voice commands such as “north,” “east,” “south,” and “west.”
- Verbally interact with objects and characters.
- Solve intricate puzzles by collecting and combining items.
- Engage with a fully voiced cast, each tied to The Master of the manor.
Narrative: As they progress, players uncover recordings from a distressed girl, revealing a sinister scheme orchestrated by The Master. To aid her, they must navigate the sprawling mansion and uncover its hidden truths across time.

So it reminds me a lot of the older text adventure games where you are put in a room or whatever not be.

For example, in our first scenario, we're left in a room that has a desk and a coat stand and stuff like that.

And you'll see that we just completely use our voice alone.

Now, as a bonus, I will show you is not all has to be done by voice.

So for those that prefer just using the regular old screen, or if you have a braille display, that might be something that you want to take a look at as well.

So check on the availability of if that or this game is available to you in your country app store.
