I'm blind it took me 2 years to learn how to use my devices independently. I love gaming but often there's not any or many accessible games I can find and play. I found this game underneath the blind accessibility filter on itch.io was just wondering since it doesn't say anywhere if there's accessibility options on the game after you download it? 100% OK if there's not but I just wanted to ask before downloading. Even if it's not accessible I'll look for a let's play of it on YouTube so I can experience it that way as well. Just wanted to ask so I can get clarification.
Thank you for your question! All games made with the Ren'Py game engine allow you to press "v" to activate assistive self-voicing, which will read all dialogue and menu items out loud. (So even Ren'Py games that are not tagged as blind-accessible may still be fully playable!)
You can advance dialogue by clicking or with the space bar, and choices and menu items are selected with the "enter" key. The game menu can be accessed by right clicking or pressing "esc". Menus can be navigated using the arrow keys, and "page up" and "page down" let you switch between different menus.
For Robot Daycare in particular, there is a "Press to Start" screen. I unfortunately really couldn't figure out how to make it read that out loud and it just says "New Game" instead. Either way, to start the game, press "enter", navigate down with the keyboard, and then press "enter" again.
If the voice sound effects are distracting, you can disable those by heading to the "Settings" menu, and navigating towards "Voice Volume". Then, you can select the slider using the "enter" key, drag it to the left with the arrow keys, and then confirm by pressing "enter" again.
Thank you again for bringing this to my attention, and please let me know if you run into any difficulties!
Thank you for answering! Also it's good to know that Ren'Py do have a greater chance of being accessible. I appreciate you telling me that as it's very helpful. Also thank you for explaining your accessibility features and also how to start the game and navigate settings. IT's very much appreciated. Again thank you for replying and being helpful. I'll definitely let you know if I run into any issues and I look forward to playing your game.
