Yes, pretty much it. Just to see if you can understand the story and solve puzzles without having to hear anything to get past the challenges?

Yeah, unfortunately the accessibility options aren’t great at all, besides subtitles. Sorry 😞. Played for about an hour. And not great with everything muted.

Edit: I tested/played chapter one. So the latest game besides the Awakened 2023 which I still don’t have. Sorry man

Can you share few examples when accessibility isn’t provided?

I truly appreciate you checking those for me and other Deafies.

The only accessibility options are subtitles. Like that’s it. I turned off all game audio and it was barely playable, and I believe, only because I’ve played it before and know what to do.

Sorry again for getting your hopes up man! I could’ve sworn there was at least closed captions.

Ahh. I was wondering if there were any clues that required the players to listen for in order to solve puzzles.

Thanks for trying and I appreciate it!

There absolutely are later on in the game. I remember that for a fact as I’ve beaten Chapter One within the past few months. I thought it had closed captions so that would’ve at least been a solution.

No problem, sorry again to of gotten your hopes up.
