« Accidental Queens and Arte were willing to remove a barrier to access to allow [blind players] to experience their game. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what accessibility is. » 

Can I Play That


« [...] the developers of Alt-Frequencies made the game accessible to blind players by making sure you can turn on a mode that only has you using your keyboard.  It also automatically uses your screen reader to read menus, and any non-narrated segments of the game.  This was a wonderful thing to find out and made me instantly buy the game, because we need to support indi developers that have accessibility at the forefront of their minds. »
