I think the title says it all. Do sites like itch.io have good accessibility for things like screen readers etc? Is there a particular site that would be good to post a game to?

Itch just hosts the HTML you upload, like most other hosts. So it depends on what system you’re using to generate your game. What are you using/were you considering using?

I guess I was thinking about the interface on the hosting site and accessing the game - it would be unfortunate to make an accessible game which is hidden behind an inaccessible hosting site.

I don’t think itch.io, Steam or GOG have accessible (for blind etc) webpages or care for that. Maybe it’s an open market niche?

  • itch.io as a site is perfectly accessible with a screen reader, I use it all the time.
  • My only experiences with Steam are the PC app, which is terrible. There is hope that one day they’ll care enough to fix it, but hope is all it is for now.
  • I haven’t used GOG at all.
