Thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed the vibe, as it’s currently my special interest.

You should certainly try to install a screen reader, because it will transform your experience of this jam! Even just the frustration of trying to open an embed and giving it focus is something you’d never think about! Many of the games here will also hook into it better than what their built-in self-voicing will provide, with whatever settings you’ve configured it to have.

In my opinion, self-voicing isn’t necessarily required for a game to be accessible, because someone who can’t see the screen will likely be using a screen reader to access it from their web browser or OS in the first place. That said, it’s not a bad thing to include, especially if your game doesn’t have readable text or can’t provide the necessary information for a screen reader to succeed. For me, it feels very much like reinventing the wheel when working with web technologies exclusively, because they support screen readers with surprisingly minimal effort.

Anyway, I’m sorry for getting hung up on that one detail of your very thoughtful review. The driving game you’re looking for might be Periphery Synthetic, and you can claim a free copy at the bottom of the page. No purchase is necessary. It’s my treat to this awesome community.

Hi, if you're on windows, there is a completely fee screen reader you can try called NVDA. It works with a lot of the games in this jam, reading the menus directly!
