Hi there!
I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag".  The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's.  but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all.  Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support?  Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them.  Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)

Hi! First of all, thank you for reaching out and for creating such a collection, that's really cool (and also useful to devs without any visual impairment who might want to take notes!). Toumayhem is made with Ren'Py, so the built-in self-voicing should cover most of the game; I also took care in labeling all buttons with an alt text, and the main character's thoughts are explicited as such in self-voicing (prefaced by "Thinking:", while in text it's just between parenthesis). Most screens work fine on keyboard and controller, but I do know that the Glossary and the Jukebox (both extra screens, but still a nice part of the game!) are a bit iffy at times due to scrollbars I've had a few problems fully figuring out (solo game dev hard). That said, I've had a few test runs myself for all these options but I'm far from fully blind, so there's probably a thing or two I missed or I didn't think about implementing. Anyway, if you want or have time to (I imagine you're doing one hell of a work in collecting 100% accessible games), you can try out the trial version as the only thing I mentioned earlier that's missing is an access to the Jukebox screen.

If you do end up giving it a try and find anything that might improve usability, please do tell if you've got time! Post-release fixes are being kind of slow at the moment, but I'd hate for anyone to be locked out forever from playing for issues I could easily solve.
