Hmm, controls were really unclear. A better tutorial would have helped a lot. I do think my issues with processing auditory input were a big factor, I really just couldn't understand anything that was being said without subtitles. I was just going off the controls listed in the game description on its itch page.
Totally makes sense! Was a great concept overall, just not as accessible as needed. I have some issues with audio: I have trouble understanding words without subtitles, but i am an outlier in terms of audience. Your game frustrated me a lot but I imagine most users won't have auditory processing issues. As someone who's dealt with this for years, I really suggest including subtitles or avoiding audio cues altogether if you can't include alternative text. Forcing progression based on hearing something is quite abelist. Not everyone can hear or understand what they hear without subtitles. For that reason, I really didn't like your game. It made me feel deficient.
