How we checked
Accessibility is personal. A game that is easy for one player can be closed to another. So we did not rank games by a score. We list the options each game really has, and where each fact comes from.
We used three kinds of source:
- The Steam store page. Steam lets developers list accessibility features, such as a resizable interface, subtitles, mouse-only play or saving at any time. These are listed by the developer, not tested by Steam.
- Accessibility reviews. Can I Play That? and Laura Dale’s Access-Ability review games with disabled players in mind. Where they reviewed a game here, we quote them.
- The Family Gaming Database, which keeps accessibility reports for many games.
If a game does not list an option and no review mentions it, we do not claim it. If an option matters a lot to you, check the store page and try a demo before you buy. Our list of cozy game demos can help.
Our picks
- Best all-round: Unpacking
- Best for reading support: Botany Manor
- Best fully voiced: Wylde Flowers
- Best high contrast: TOEM 2
- Best single-stick controller play: Botany Manor
- Best mouse-only puzzle: A Little to the Left
Strong all-rounders
Unpacking
Who it is for: players who want a calm game with very simple input.
You take items out of boxes and put them away in a new home. Can I Play That? scored it 8 out of 10 for accessibility. Its pros: “No timers or scores”, an “Option to remove puzzle element”, “Simple gameplay”, “Can be played with just a mouse”, and a “Large default HUD that can be increased”. You can remap keys and controller buttons. On Steam, the developer also lists color alternatives, camera comfort, separate volume controls and saving at any time.
The honest downside: the reviewer found that the main menu cannot be used with the keyboard, and that a remapped key cannot share a second input.
Developer: Witch Beam | Year: 2021 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile | Length: about 3.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Botany Manor
Who it is for: players who need reading help or simpler controller input.
You are a retired botanist growing rare plants in an English manor in 1890. Access-Ability found that you can show any in-game writing “in a sans serif font on a dark black background”, that no puzzle has a time limit, and that any held button can become a toggle. It also supports single-stick play on a controller, so you never need both sticks at once. Music and sound effects have separate sliders.
The honest downside: Access-Ability notes some puzzles give feedback by sound with no captions for it, though this never blocked progress. Its motion sickness options help but, in their words, leave “a little bit of remaining room for improvement”.
Developer: Balloon Studios | Year: 2024 | Platforms: PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox | Length: about 3.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Wylde Flowers
Who it is for: players who would rather listen than read.
You are Tara, who helps her grandma on a farm and learns witchcraft by night. Every line of dialogue is voiced in English. On Steam, the developer lists a resizable interface, subtitles, separate volume controls, keyboard-only and mouse-only options, difficulty levels and saving at any time. The Family Gaming Database counts 34 accessibility features, including large subtitles, large text and a low-pressure way to play.
The honest downside: it is a long life sim, about 55 hours, with daily chores to keep track of.
Developer: Studio Drydock | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Length: about 55 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Vision and contrast
TOEM 2
Who it is for: low vision and color blind players who want an adventure.
You are a photographer on a trip to see a natural wonder. Can I Play That? found the black and white art and thick lines make most things easy to see, and that “color blind players should not have issues”. You can zoom in, quests have no time pressure, autosaves are frequent, and button prompts are always on screen. Music and sound effects have separate sliders.
The honest downside: the same review says there is no button remapping, some text has low contrast, and a few platforming bits need precision.
Developer: Something We Made | Year: 2026 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS5 | Length: about 3 to 4 hours (developer estimate) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Pine Hearts
Who it is for: players who want a gentle hike with contrast and text options.
You are Tyke, returning to a nature reserve to climb the mountain his late father never reached. Laura Dale at Access-Ability praised “the game’s implementation of high contrast colour blocking and its text alteration options”. On Steam, the developer lists a resizable interface, color alternatives, a keyboard-only option and play without quick-time events.
The honest downside: the same reviewer struggled to find her way, because the maps were either too close or too far out, and there is no navigation assist. The story also deals with grief.
Developer: Hyper Luminal Games | Year: 2024 | Platforms: PC, Switch | Length: about 3 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Hidden Folks
Who it is for: players who want a click-only game with color choices.
Each level is a big hand-drawn scene full of people to find. You only click, and you can click a target for a hint. Its Steam page lists three color modes: normal, sepia and night.
The honest downside: the scenes are very detailed, and the developer lists no accessibility features in Steam’s section. The sequel, Hidden Folks 2, is due in 2027 and already lists a resizable interface, contrast controls and more on its Steam page.
Developer: Adriaan de Jongh | Year: 2017 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch | Length: about 3.5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Low pressure and simple input
A Little to the Left
Who it is for: players who want small puzzles they can skip.
You sort and tidy household items. Its Steam page says you can skip any level with the “Let It Be” option, and a hint system lets you choose how much of the answer you see. The developer lists color alternatives, camera comfort, separate volume controls, play without quick-time events, keyboard-only, mouse-only and touch-only options, and difficulty levels.
The honest downside: some puzzles rely on spotting small visual details.
Developer: Max Inferno | Year: 2022 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile | Length: about 4 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Tiny Glade
Who it is for: players who want to build with no wrong answers.
You draw walls and paths, and the game builds castles and cottages from them. The developer says there are “no wrong answers or failure states”. On Steam it lists camera comfort, separate volume controls, play without quick-time events, a mouse-only option and saving at any time.
The honest downside: it does not list subtitles or a resizable interface, and you need to move a 3D camera.
Developer: Pounce Light | Year: 2024 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux | Length: about 3 hours to see most of it, with no end (HowLongToBeat, few reports) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
Is This Seat Taken?
Who it is for: puzzle fans who want no clock.
You seat picky people on buses and at weddings. Its Steam page calls it a “no-pressure logic puzzle game”, with no timers or leaderboards. The developer lists color alternatives, camera comfort, separate volume controls, play without quick-time events, and keyboard-only, mouse-only and touch-only options.
The honest downside: it does not list a resizable interface or subtitles, and later levels ask you to hold many rules in mind at once.
Developer: Poti Poti Studio | Year: 2025 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS5 | Length: about 4 to 5 hours (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
A Short Sail
Who it is for: players who want to test the settings for themselves first.
A Short Sail is a cozy sailing game where you are a tabby cat with a sailboat. We have not published a full list of accessibility options yet, so treat it as a maybe. Two things we can say: it has full controller support, with button marks for the controller you use, and one Quality setting and a frame rate limit help it run on slower computers. You can test it yourself in the free browser demo at play.ashortsail.com.
Developer: Yos Riady | Platforms: PC (Windows), Mac, Web, Steam Deck | Length: not shared yet | Free demo at play.ashortsail.com | Play the demo
A big game with good settings
Stardew Valley
Who it is for: players who want a long farm life and can tune the view.
The Stardew Valley wiki lists an interface scale from 75% to 150%, a zoom level up to 200%, separate sliders for music, sound, ambient noise and footsteps, a switch to mute animal sounds, a switch to turn off flash effects such as lightning, and remappable keys. Can I Play That? noted that the 1.6 update made sounds fade instead of cut off and softened the bomb fuse sound.
The honest downside: the fishing minigame and the mines need quick reactions, and the game saves only when you go to bed.
Developer: ConcernedApe | Year: 2016 | Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, mobile | Length: about 53 hours for the main goals (HowLongToBeat) | Steam Deck: Verified | Steam page
