As I say, it's one that is still very early in testing - it doesn't have a proper designation/name yet as a project.
Will definitely share more when I can.

Never thought I'd say this, but thanks to the very first version of a #accessibility mod from the creator of the one for Disco Elysium, I started playing #FinalFantasy VI's pixel remaster last night!
It's very rough, but I beat the first boss, on my first attempt! #A11Y

Just tried Marvel Cosmic Invasion's demo. Unfortunately the combat audio is in mono, meaning you can't tell where enemies are coming from.
Moreover, at default settings at least, there are no audible footsteps, meaning navigation is harder without sight. #A11Y #Accessibility

After many hours and countless demons defeated, with constant sighted assistance, I've finally finished #Doom The Dark Ages!
It wasn't fully accessible, but I very much enjoyed it, especially on PC where I could switch what weapon I was firing myself.

If this does happen, I'd love it to be fully playable without sighted assistance. Spider-Man 2 gave me a taste of what that could be like, but to get the full experience would be fantastic! #A11Y #Accessibility

Whilst there is good news in that the #Hades2 mods have seen a recent update, the unfortunate thing is that there are still a few issues.
It would've been great to see #accessibility natively included so players didn't have to use additional software just to enjoy the game. #A11Y

Though it's fantastic to see #Hades2 has finally released, it's unfortunate that I and many other gamers without sight will have to wait for #accessibility mods produced in the game's early days to be updated so that we can actually play the game at all without assistance or workarounds.

#DiscoElysium fans, I have some very cool news... Thanks to a #Accessibility mod that is in development, I'll be able to dive in and play this much acclaimed title without assistance!
Who would want to see me stream it when I'm back?
