Thanks for reaching out! This is our first attempt at an accessible game, so one of the hard decisions we had to make was to only support text-to-speech and not screen readers, because I was having a lot of issues during development. A few weeks ago, I didn't even understand the difference between the two, and that they are separate technologies, so I'm still trying to learn as much as I can.

After you hear my voice ask if you've played before, there is a text-to-speech line that lets you choose your response. If you're not hearing that, I am very sorry, but the entire rest of the game will be broken for you, since text-to-speech is used everywhere. The reason I included a voice to start the game was just in case TTS wasn't working, so players would at least understand that the game had loaded and was running, and they weren't just waiting forever or think the game was entirely broken.

If you're playing on Windows, could you try the native build instead of running it in browser (if you're comfortable with that)? This is the first I've heard of TTS not working in Chrome on Windows, so I'll have to look into that issue more, but thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Hi Kelsey! I know you said you pressed a lot of keys, but just making sure that those keys included the spacebar and enter. TTS could be broken but also wanted to make sure it wasn't an input problem.
