Known limitations
- The full game is not finished. This entry mainly covers the public demo and accessibility information from the developer, stores, and showcase.
- I did not find an independent blind playthrough confirming the whole demo from start to finish with keyboard or a screen reader.
- Steam does not explicitly list OS screen-reader support such as NVDA. Accessibility appears to be built-in narration/audio description and simple input, not necessarily screen-reader integration.
- Norwegian text or voice is not confirmed.
