A downloadable game for Windows

This is a demo project for a node based accessibility feature in video games. It allows to visually and motor impaired players to have alternate control options for games that only require time independant input.

The demo project allows to change to 2 different accessibility modes.

The first mode allows screenreader output and is orientated on basic controls of screenreaders.

The second mode allows to play through most of the demo with the use of a single button, by iterating over all available options over time.

In this prototype state there are no options for customisation of reading speed or the timer for the scanning mode.


Controls:
Q    Change Mode (Standard enabled per default, Screenreader mode, Scanning mode)
Enter/Space    Confirm/Interact
Esc    Close game

Reading mode only:
C    Read current nodes description
Ctrl    Stop reading
X    Repeat last spoken text
Left arrow    next Action
Right arrow    previous Action
