This game is quite amazing, but the only issue I have is not knowing what I am doing (being a deaf/hard of hearing person).

So I had to watch another video (Mainly MrKravin's one) to get subtitles on my own video (twice). You should maybe consider adding some to the game if possible. My only issue with it, cause I ran around like a headless chook..

Also, another thing that was wrong is (I think) some sound doesn't play, like I noticed in MrKravin's video that he got jumpscared by a sound playing in a room -- probably broken glass? It didnt play for me, like at all.

Anyway, here's the video:

Hi Syvulpie, thanks so much for playing.

Firstly, that’s a great suggestion. I do need to work more accessibility into my games & this is something I have been thinking about a lot. This game was made in five days as a rapid ideation project so there are some things that need to be cut for that to work but I will 100% make sure I do this going forwards. I don’t want to exclude people from being able to experience or play the games I make.

In regards to the audio issue you had, this is the first I am hearing of the issue. I generally make a point of watching everyone’s video & haven’t seen this for myself. This is most likely an isolated issue or a glitch that just unfortunately happened to you whilst playing, so for that I am sorry.

I have dropped over to your YT & dropped you a sub & a like & also left you a comment. Thanks for being awesome!

Hi Aaron,

I replied to your comment on my video, so I am replying here now.

Glad to hear that you're considering adding accessibility to your games. No-one's perfect when making a game, I would know that cause I tried to make my own game last year lol.

It's also pretty well made for just 5 days, honestly. Also, another thing to note is if you need some help with accessibility (like readable subtitle sizes), you can always contact me -- email is on my YouTube channel, in my about(clickable link) page.

Another thing that is a bit of a pain and would need to be changed is to shorten the distance to the car, because it is quite loooooong walk. Especially since you're just walking (yes, I do acknowledge you made this in 5 days :p).

Another thing you could do in there is maybe move the house closer to the edge of the fence?

Some more things you could possibly do is add a highlight for the thing you need, or even easier thing is to have a pop-up like "[press E to pick up item]"

so it's not that hard to find something.

Just shooting out some ideas to you. I have so many ideas that I can give you. Let me know if some of those are of help to you!

These are all great ideas! The game I am currently working on address the issue with prompts for interaction. I will deffo shoot you an email regarding subtitles. Thank you so much for the offer :)
