Ok, silly question is if they've implemented screen reader compatibility modes in it or something, how come it seems totally silent, except for background music sound when I try it out with both jaws 14/13 and NVDA? Did also manage to turn off background music in options dialogue, after exploring screen with jaws/mouse cursor, and tried clicking on what gets called screen reader compatibility mode, but not sure if it was already checked or not, and in any case, game is still silent/unusable...? This is on a windows7 64 bit machine if that makes a difference. And, yes, also tried accessing it without jaws turned on in case it was blocking keystrokes, but no difference - still completely silent?
