Reading Accessibility

How do I interact with the reading accessibility interface?

During gameplay, double-clicking the text in any dialogue box will enable the reading accessibility interface. Clicking the cog icon on the top right corner opens a menu where you can adjust the font, background color, foreground color, font size, line height and letter spacing. This is designed to improve readability for individuals with dyslexia as well as providing broader reading support. Pressing the escape button (Esc) exits the interface.

What is the masking functionality?

The masking functionality can be enabled to focus on a small part of the text at any one time (2-3 lines), making longer texts more accessible. The scrolling feature is then used to move the mask slowly down the text (dot moving down the line to the right of the dialogue text).
