Trading Card Inspector
Relaxed card-inspection game with high contrast, colour choices, larger cards/memos, reduced motion, and mouse-paced play, but no confirmed screen-reader support.
Short verdict
Low-vision players who can read the screen visually and want a relaxed PC/Mac game with useful visual options. Totally blind players should not buy it for screen-reader play without testing first.

Accessibility
- Steam lists colour alternatives, contrast controls, camera comfort, difficulty levels, save anytime, playable at your own pace, and mouse-only play.
- The developer’s Steam announcement describes larger cards, larger memos, and an option to disable card rotation for readability.
- The Access-Ability Summer Showcase recap mentions high contrast, 40 palettes, adjustable card and memo size, removable card rotation, and a dissolving-ink/time-pressure mechanic that can be disabled without penalty.
- The Steam Deck layout uses trackpads as a mouse pointer, arrow keys for value changes, and touch-screen support.
Known limitations
- Steam does not list narrated menus, keyboard-only play, or play without vision; Steam data explicitly says the game is not playable without vision.
- I found no independent blind-player test, NVDA/VoiceOver/TalkBack support, or documented audio cues that make cards, memos, and menus readable without sight.
- Gameplay is about reading and comparing visual cards, memos, and reference lists. It may still require substantial vision even with larger elements and high contrast.
- Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
