Hi,

I do not know much about Click&Point Adventures.
Did they use Sound Alternative a lot in the past?

Monkey Island Special Edition I use in one part sound alternative.
But they used it because the action was in another room and the player
Could not see anything.


"Edna bricht aus" is a German Click&Point Adventure.
I do not know if it was released also in other countries.
They use subtitle for dialogues and text for other sound.
I will make some screenshots. Send an email if you like to get some.


Also I am wondering if it can be useful to have a Click&Point Adventure
Used only with mouse. And maybe reduce clicking to the left button.
(Right button only for "nice to have" short clicks)

Do we know something about Click&Point Adventures and mobility impaired
gamer?

Best regards
Sandra
