Whenever a new game is released, there is concern surrounding accessibility. Some players have restrictions that prevent them from making certain movements with their hands, for example, or partially sighted players may need specific settings to enable them to play.
Nightingale’s development team at Inflexion have stated that one of their goals forNightingaleis to bring together players from all backgrounds and as such, they’ve implemented many accessibility features with more unspecified ones promised for the future.
Some of these features, such as Arachnophobia Mode and third-person POV, have been included as a direct result of player feedback, something which Inflexion have said is very important to it. They’ve also stated that this feedback look will continue, with further tweaks or additions likely to occur as a result of player feedback post-release and suggestions onDiscordand other official avenues.
Interestingly, there are no color options included in the accessibility features for those who may have color-blindness or other sight issues. Inflexion have stated themselves that ‘those with low or no vision may find the game challenging without assistance’, but there are some visual options that will be available at launch to make things slightly easier.

General
Right from the off,Nightingalewill enable players to choose their difficulty setting, but they will also be able to tailor each Realm’s difficulty when they open a new Portal. As far as saving the game is involved, Inflexion stresses that while the game is constantly syncing with servers to enable an auto-save feature, it’s strongly recommended that players quit via the menu to ensure a proper save state is produced when you exit the game.
