Hi blind gamers, Hope you're all well today. The below game, Knights of San Francisco, is coming out today. It's a text-based game with exploration, RPG, and combat elements. It's on iOS and Android, I only played the iOS version. I've been in communication with the developer (copied in case you want to bug him, sorry Filip) and he has made some improvements for access on iOS. I'd say the game is pretty playable, it's not optimized for Voiceover like A Dark Room or similar but I got through it without many issues. There are some annoyances, but no show stoppers.
If you try it, and I recommend giving it a go as it's pretty original, here's a little advice for Voiceover users. 1. When you make a choice, Voiceover will often start reading from the prior choice, so you'll have to be patient and scroll a bit. 2. In combat, the combat options are nested under elemenst that sound like statuses. Like, if you select the enemy's stance, you get options to throw the enemy off balance. Direct attacks are under the enemy's health status. It makes sense but it took me a minute to figure out. 3. Keep checking the map for new locations. You may need to scroll up and down vertically on the map to show new locations as the map is tall (not wide) and not all elements may appear from left/right swipes. I did sometimes feel like I was teleporting around a bit since I wasn't really seeing the map, but I can't say that was a huge issue except maybe for immersion. 4. The game is a bit short. It took me a long afternoon or so. Might be relevant for the value-conscious. I've played through the beta so happy to answer questions.
