Accessibility
- The developer describes the game as audio-first and 100% blind-accessible.
- The farm is played as a grid with Arrow keys or WASD for movement.
- Q reads the current tile, E reads money, R reads the item description, and T reads item instructions.
- Number keys select and cycle item categories; Space uses the selected item.
- Escape opens the game menu, and the menu should include a page with more detailed tutorials.
- Music can be briefly silenced with M or toggled off with Shift+M.
Known limitations
- This is an early, short Windows demo, not a finished game.
- Accessibility is currently based on the developer’s itch.io page and jam submission; I found no independent blind-player test or comments at publication time.
- Screen-reader/menu support, saving, and the full flow are not independently confirmed.
- The developer notes a known bug where an item runs out at 1 unit instead of 0.
- The game stores data in %appdata%\Moving Island, which must be deleted manually if you want to remove the save data.
