DeLight: The Journey Home - A Heartwarming Adventure of a Blind Girl

Reading Time: 2 mins 50 secs Seeing how my family will be having their Christmas break soon, I begin to gear up to head home for the holidays. To my surprise, something hits me as I pack my bags. ‘Strange,’ I thought, ‘since I’ve seen them not too long ago.’  Only after going through all sorts of possibilities had a thought sprout in my mind. It must have been the game, DeLight: The Journey Home (DL)! The game my housemate had me play with her over the weekends, which made me a little homesick.

I was attracted to Delight: The Journey Home in just the first 5 minutes. Is it a game worth being recommended? Yes, it is. First, Delight has innovative gameplay. You would play a brave young blind girl and explore the external world in low vision. Because you’re blind, you can’t see distant objects and need help from a guide dog, which makes the gameplay quite unique. The story is great with a meaningful theme. At the start, we find the heroine is trying to sneak past a bunch of soldiers and board the train. When we finally got on the train. The game began to tell us a story of the civilians who live in wartime.

“War is hell.” That pithy quote was said a long time ago by a general who almost no one remembers these days. Regardless of whether they are citizens or soldiers, almost everyone living through a war is rattled to their core. While it certainly is possible to live “peacefully” during wartime, not everyone is so lucky. To have a handicap such as blindness would certainly add to the difficulty of life in war. This is depicted with much depth in the game
