Accessibility mode for visually impaired players

Hello, I am a partially visually impaired player who enjoys playing cosy games. I recently tried the PDF accessibility mode for this game and I have some feedback to share.

First of all, I appreciate the effort to make the game more accessible for people like me. The PDF mode is pleasant to navigate and easy to read. The text is clear and the font size is adjustable. The game also provides narration for most of the image and that enhances immersion.

However, I also encountered some challenges and suggestions for improvement. One of them is the lack of descriptive descriptions for the images in the game. I believe the game has a lot of beautiful illustrations that I cannot fully appreciate due to my condition. Sometimes, the images pop up without any warning or explanation, which can be confusing and frustrating. I think it would be great if the game could inform us that there is an image on the screen and provide a descriptive paragraph of what it shows. This way, I can have a better sense of what is happening in the game and enjoy the story more.

Another issue is the difficulty of some of the gameplay mechanics, such as the time and drawing cards.  The game requires the player to draw cards from a deck, which can be hard to do with a screen reader or magnifier. But I have my own method 

Overall, I think this game has a lot of potential and charm, but it could also benefit from some more accessibility features. I hope that the developers will consider my feedback and make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for reading and have a nice day! 馃槉
