Which games have you found most accessible?

(I'm arranging games as part of a virtual conference and want to include accessible ones.)

How is Go Nut for Donuts?

What I’d be most interested in is: how can devs experience what OP goes through? It was mentioned he uses a screen reader and to the best of my knowledge I (and most people here) don’t have access to one of those (unless there’s a free app or it’s built-in to Firefox or something like that). Devs probably have no understanding of the actual problems and the only way to get them fixed is for devs to experience it first-hand.

I don't know for Firefox, but you can with Chrome :

Open DevTools: Press F12 , go to the Elements panel.
In the top-right corner of that pane, click the Accessibility Icon (a small person icon) to the Accessibility Tree instead of the DOM tree.
It should give you a clue of what a screen reader would use.

Both Windows and Mac OS have in-built screen readers too, so you can get them running and see what it's like. The Mac one is called Voiceover and the Windows is called Narrator.
