Ensuring Kamioshi is accessible means designing the game so that as many people as possible, regardless of disabilities or other challenges, can enjoy it.

1. Vision Accessibility

Challenges:

• Players with visual impairments (e.g., color blindness, low vision, or blindness).

Solutions:

• Colour Contrast: Use high-contrast color schemes for text, icons, and UI elements. Test with colour-blindness simulators.

• Text Options:
  • Allow players to adjust text size, font, and spacing.
  • Use dyslexia-friendly fonts or provide an option to switch to them.
• Audio Cues:
  • Provide auditory feedback for key actions or notifications.
  • Ensure that critical game information is not conveyed by color alone (e.g., use icons or patterns in addition to color).
• Screen Reader Compatibility:
  • Ensure menus and in-game text are compatible with screen readers.

2. Hearing Accessibility

Challenges:

• Players who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Solutions:

• Subtitles:
  • Include subtitles for all dialogue and key sound effects (e.g., [door creaks], [crowd cheers]).
  • Allow players to customize subtitle size, background, and color.
• Visual Indicators:
  • Use visual prompts to replace auditory cues (e.g., flashing icons for alerts).
• Optional Background Music:
  • Allow players to adjust or mute background music independently of sound effects.

3. Motor Accessibility
