Hi Lindsay, That may be the case. I know I have a fairly good sense of direction, spatial orientation, etc so playing Shades of Doom is relatively straight forward for me. On the other hand you indicated problems with a sense of direction in real live travel so that will certainly effect your playing Shades of Doom, and you do seem to have an inordinate amount of problems with the game. I won't go as far to say it is impossible but you may have more difficulty than someone like myself.
If you are good at map reading Shades of Doom has a feature where you can output the current level to a braille map. If you have a braille printer you could try brailing a map of the current level and use that to give you an idea of what the level looks like which may improve your understanding of the level's layout. If you do not have a braille printer but have a set of Legos you can construct one as you play the level. For instance, on level one you begin in a east/west corridor at the top of the map. There is a short north/south corridor that connects to a second east/west corridor right below the first one. There is a second north/south corridor that connects to a third east/west corridor, and so on. Its actually pretty simple if you feel how the level is laid out. All you do is go back and forth from west, to south, to east, to south, to west, to south, to east, and so on. In short, the only suggestion I can give you is try and create a map. Maybe e, just maybe, that will help you mentally grasp the layout of the game's levels enough to actually be able to navigate them. I don't know if this would help but maybe a developer like myself could create a game like Maze Craze which might help you practice navigating mazes or something. Cheers!
