Visual Design
Our primary goal for the visuals is to ensure that nothing essential is conveyed visually that a visually impaired player couldn't access through sound cues, the audio environment, or voice acting. At the same time, we aim to create a visually appealing interface for sighted players. Initially, we planned a Steam and PC release, but most sighted users sitting at a computer expect a visually engaging screen experience. As a result, we shifted to a mobile-focused layout, allowing players to enjoy the game on the go, much like a podcast or music app. This change led us to design a user experience tailored specifically to the phone, emphasizing accessibility and seamless interactivity.
​
Below are some low-fidelity layouts:
The interface will feature a pause and play button, potentially accompanied by subtitles underneath for accessibility. Navigation options could include arrows on either side of the play/pause button to select an ending, or alternatively, the screen could be divided into two sides where tapping one side makes the selection. At the center of the interface, there might be a small piece of art or a dynamic sound wave that reacts to dialogue. Each ending will feature full splash art for added visual impact. The layout will consistently maintain a vertical orientation to suit the mobile-first design.
