Resumo


Accessibility in games remain largely inaccessible to visually and hearing impaired people. In this work, we introduce 2222, an accessible maze game that promotes a real inclusion, through resources such as auditory orientation and equity in the game mechanics, reducing the disparity in the game-play experience between players. Furthermore, we also brought environmental awareness within our narrative to inspire players to transform our reality.
