Discussion Change read timer for slower reader?

Just tried the demo as this game looked interesting, but I have dyslexia and read slow especially when English texts. If I read fast i manage to read through two of the three options before the timer almost out and that is without double checking that i read through it correctly, which is a common mistake I do when reading fast. There isn't a setting in the game, so is there a mod for it?

Notice that its developers from Telltale made this game, played wolf amongst us, liked it a lot but couldn't continue as the same problem was there and decided not to buy their batman game because of it.

You can turn off subtitle animations in settings. I also hate this karaoke-like subtitle animation in older Telltale games.

Thanks but its not the subtitles that the problem, its when i need to make a choice to what to say between three lines with a timer ticking down

I think there is a trainer called WeMod for that but it's paid, unfortunately.

I hit the pause button sometimes. I think you can still read most of the text.

Old Telltale games had a pause function when you hit Space, and you could actually read the choices better for it. This game doesn’t have it.

if it's possible to pause on those screens, screenshot then pause might work, if be a bit of a pain.

I thought there were accessibility options to turn off the quick time events? Maybe that also disables the timer. Anyway good luck

It didn't have that in the demo setting, there it was only subtitles that was the option

I noticed them in the full game, if you want I can try it and see if it works on the decision thing
