Double Fine has revealed the many accessibility options that will be available for Psychonauts 2. The upcoming action-adventure game will have options ranging from gameplay choices to sound and graphics adjustments such as colorblind modes. All of these have been explained in a 30 minute accessibility feature Q&A video, which was released yesterday as part of GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day).
The developer is adamant that there is no “intended” way to play Psychonauts 2 and none of them affect the player’s ability to earn trophies. When players first launch the game, there will be a handful of initial accessibility features players can use to alter the title to suit their preferences. These include brightness, text language, font legibility, subtitles, and localized navigational UI. There are more options to be found in the Settings menu, though. Some of these affect the player’s gameplay experience, like making them invincible or even turning off combat to focus on the story. All controller buttons can be remapped, controller rumble and screen shake can be adjusted, and there’s graphical options for players who are color blind. These features are further explained in the 30-minute Q&A video featuring Senior Producer Kevin Johnson and Content and Community Manager Heather Alexandra.
