We designed exclusively for Very Important Gamers, we coined…(V. I. Gs) who have been excluded,… dare I say,… Denied!… from the high-intensity 1st person shooters. The un-inclusive lame stream game markets promote! The non-accessible, open world combat games, your sighted friends enjoy and brag about. Not realizing, they’re Rubbing it in, how blind consumers are viewed by most entertainment markets. Niche? Pennyless, dumb, less than human, and less intuitive than a sighted consumer? We say,… Nope!

We bring you The Mind Shot Project - MainStream BootCamp for Visually Impaired Gamers (V I G’s)! Finally included in tactical combat with immersive 3D audio. Grenades? sniper rifle? rocket launcher?

Progress through 11 training levels (A1 to I) building skills in pistol target practice, rifle shooting, shotgun mastery, grenade accuracy, barbed wire crawling, rope climbing, rocket launcher use, sniper precision with amplified cues, super KO punch timing, and plastic explosive placement.
