What we have done, what we have checked, and what is still not good enough.
We want Dhukarr to be usable by as many people as possible. This page says plainly what works and what does not. It was last reviewed in October 2026. It is not a formal audit against WCAG, and we do not claim a conformance level.
What you can change
- Motion, brightness, contrast, text size, shadows and the soft glow around lights.
- Overall volume, nature sounds, gentle music and pickup sounds, each separately.
- Four presets: Quiet world, Soft colours, High contrast and Minimal motion. A device set to reduce motion starts with Minimal motion.
- How much information is shown on the walk: just the route, the next stop, or distance and finds.
- Quiet notices, a short end to each walk, and whether points and ranks are shown.
- Weather, and the time of day.
- A read-aloud option for notes.
How you can play
- Keyboard: W A S D or the arrow keys to walk, Q and E to turn, C to rest, M for the map, Esc to close panels.
- Touch: a walking circle in the corner, and dragging to look.
- Game controller: left stick to walk, right stick to look.
- Nothing is timed. Nothing needs fast reactions. You can rest at any moment, and the world holds still.
What we checked on the website
We ran an automated check (axe-core) on every page of the website, at a computer width and a phone width, and fixed what it found: text contrast, heading order, and a scrolling list that could not be reached by keyboard. Images have text descriptions, and no page scrolls sideways at phone width. Automated checks find only some problems, so this is a start and not proof.
What is not good enough yet
- The walking world is a picture. It is drawn on a canvas that a screen reader cannot read. The notes, stop cards and menus are text, but the walk itself is not available to someone who cannot see it.
- Sound is not captioned. Important information is always shown as text as well, but we have not tested every case.
- We have tested with a keyboard, but not with every screen reader or switch device, and we have not yet had it checked by people who rely on assistive technology every day.
- Some older phones and computers draw the world slowly. Turning off shadows and the soft glow helps.
