- Fully narrated via quality text-to-speech and audio descriptions (characters, locations and scenes.)
- Puzzles adapted for blindness.
- All puzzles and fights can be skipped.
- Adapted tutorials.
- Buttons to repeat the last voice speech and instructions.
- Positional audio for fights.
- No online connectivity required (after the download).
- No specific device required: play with keyboard or a controller.

This makes BROK the first Nintendo Switch™ game accessible to blind players, and more generally, the first full-fledged adventure game that blind and visually impaired players can play through.
The features are available on all platforms: PC, PS4™, PS5™, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (through backwards compatibility) and Nintendo Switch™.
Let's hear a testimony from Brandon Cole @superblindman, award-winning blind accessibility consultant on several AAA games such as The Last Of Us 1 & 2:
"Brok the InvestiGator is not only a fantastic game with full voice acting, choices that matter, and an intriguing hybrid of genres, it's also fully accessible to even the totally blind, and I absolutely love it. This one's worth not just 1 playthrough, but several."
Special thanks to @lirin111for helping to make this possible.

Inspired by 80's/early 90's cartoons with a darker spin, BROK the InvestiGator takes place in a dystopian universe where animals replaced mankind. In this innovative adventure where choices matter, will you use your brain... or your brawn?
What kind of detective will you be?
