Survival of the Able is a new game on Kickstarter<\/a> that puts disabled characters front and center. We were able to sit down with the creator, Jacob Wood to discuss the game, it’s inspiration, and how disability plays a key role in the setting. <\/p>\n

“In Survival of the Able<\/em> you’re a person with a disability living in a European almshouse when the Black Death arrives. Little is known about where the plague originated or how to stop it, but those who die from it are rising again\u2014and they’re hungry for flesh. Since everyone else has succumbed to the plague, it’s up to a handful of you to make your way out of town and away to safety. You may not be the biggest, the strongest, or the fittest, but you’re determined to survive.”<\/p>\n

You can find more from Jacob at Accessible Games<\/a> or on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n
