Hi; thank you for playing Nocked!The stats are on the left third of the screen. If you highlight them, you should be able to use screen reader? I’ve communicated with a blind player last year about these difficulties, and I will check those answers next week and update this response. Also — the iOS version of the game is more screen reader friendly, with separate buttons for stat displays. Lastly, I recommend playing on Story Mode, so that you don’t have to worry about the stats very much.

Best regards, and thanks again for playing Nocked!

Hi this looks awesome, indeed as someone who actually grew up in Nottingham, England, I'm interested to see what the game makes of the legend, and as a big fan of both resource management and story driven games, I look forward to seeing this play out.

I'm however rather concerned over the stat screen issue, since I'm also a screen reader user.

I'm honestly a bit confused as to why the stats are not! reading, since usually if there is text there to be read in the window, it's findable, however not in this case.

I wonder therefore, if it might be possible to add a link to print the stats in the main window, or perhaps show them on the heading with the year and date?

Btw, if you download the free windows screen reader NVDA from https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ and run the game with it, the problem will be obvious.

Really hope this can be fixed and that the game becomes fully accessible.
