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! :)

Hello! The game engine has a built in text to speech feature that can be accessed by pressing ‘v’ on the keyboard. Yes the game is fully playable with keyboard only. You can use the arrow keys to select choices and ‘enter’ to activate them, and advance the text with space bar. I have the stats in the choice label text so that the screen reader is able to read them.
More information about the keyboard uses can be found on the Ren’Py website here: https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Help
Or I’m happy to answer other specific questions! Thanks for reaching out. If you have suggestions for how I could improve the experience for blind players, please let me know!
Hey I appreciate the reply, thanks!
It seems like you are already doing allot, which is awesome! And I appreciate the link too. :)
I'll try the game and let you know if I encounter anything. I may not have time to play through the whole thing, but if anything obvious is their, I'll catch it.
Thank you for your commitment to accessibility, and I applaud you for being a good example to other Renpy devs.
