I played a bit (for now) just to see if it was playable with my screen reader and seems to work well, besides the intro being a little clunky with the ascii the game is very easy to play with the focus for the reader being always where it should by default. Seems fun for an in-between thngs like "oh I have x minutes before this thing". Would recommend :)

Hi, very glad to hear it. Yeah, we did realize the bit about screen readers going crazy with the title graphics only after the fact – it's supposed to be ASCII art of both our logo and the game title. Sorry about that.
It's been over a decade since release and we're not going to change things anymore but if I'd do it again, that's one thing I would. The second thing would be to change the descriptions to a more tactile/audio way of knowing your surroundings. The way I wrote it makes it a bit weird because I do write like there is light in the cave, which there shouldn't be (and probably isn't what blind players would imagine anyways).
Thanks for the feedback and I'm happy the reader works well for you!
