Accessibility issues [Problèmes d'accessibilité]
Hi I'm visually impaired and when installed the game, I noticed some problems I want to point but I humbly ask for them to be addressed, not demmand them to ve solved.

In the first place, games tend to let fhe subtittle font to be increased, and this is great, but when you have bad eyesigh, the tiny fonts of the minor chitchat you have while you walk or the menus are a reading problem too.

A problem I noticed in the first Blasphemous (another game from another company) is the font. When you use a font with ornaments, is beautiful to see, but complicated to read.

Another thing important, and this one certainly is, is being able to pause the game during dialogues for slow readers being able to read the text in their own pace. Alternately, some games like the last Ace Attorney give the user a "conversation log" for that purpose.

I understand this is a small group and my problems are not critical in the fixing list of the dev team, but I, at least, wanted to leave it here in hope for them to be fixed in a distant future.

Best regards.

Bonjour, je suis malvoyant et, lors de l'installation du jeu, j'ai remarqué quelques problèmes que je souhaite signaler, mais je demande humblement qu'ils soient corrigés, et non qu'ils soient résolus.

Les jeux ont tendance à autoriser l'agrandissement de la police des sous-titres, ce qui est une bonne chose. Cependant, avec une mauvaise vue, les minuscules polices des conversations informelles en marchant ou dans les menus posent également problème.

J'ai constaté un problème dans le premier Blasphemous (un autre jeu d'une autre société) : la police. Utiliser une police avec des ornements est beau à voir, mais difficile à lire.

Un autre point important, et celui-ci l'est certainement, est la possibilité de mettre le jeu en pause pendant les dialogues pour permettre aux lecteurs lents de lire le texte à leur rythme. Par ailleurs, certains jeux, comme le dernier Ace Attorney, proposent à l'utilisateur un « journal de conversation » à cet effet.

Je comprends qu'il s'agit d'un petit groupe et que mes problèmes ne sont pas critiques dans la liste des correctifs de l'équipe de développement, mais je voulais au moins les laisser ici en espérant qu'ils soient résolus dans un avenir lointain.

Cordialement.

It'd be nice to have a a larger fonts option for other things (popup when you pick up an item, skill descriptions in combat, etc).

For the record, I'm playing the game on the Steam Deck (using SteamDeck=0) and so far this is the one thing impacting the experience

I'm playing on a 1080p TV, and I also think the fonts are too small. This is absolutely an accessibility issue. Please, devs, add an option to increase *all* font sizes, including menu UI things. I have such a hard time reading what I'm picking up.

Game studios need to get a colorblind persons with blurred visions in their teams, only then maybe, just maybe, they would understand what it actually means. Also they could even learn what the word "contrast" means. Until then why would they even care, they see the game just fine.

My only option was to refund the game as I've seen this in the past with smaller companies and it typically never gets address within a reasonable time. If they fix it, I'll probably buy it again.
Let me add this. It's not much, but it deserves the credit for the good person of the modder. Sadly, you cannot increase more the size of the font without trimming the text. The rest is in the hands of the development team.

I thought there was subtitle size option? Or I'm thinking of another game.

Thanks, that is quite useful! Hopefully the devs will bring official support :)

Subtitles yes, every other thing no... That's the point XD
It's true, but you cannot pause for being able to read. Besides, the problem is the rest of the GUI, not only the subtitle.
