Accessibility Notes
Text is all high in contrast but much less than 1/20th of screen height, with no option to adjust the size. While there are mission objectives, part of the challenge is figuring out how to complete them, and as a result, they don't always make it clear what exactly to do (ie. which items to get from where).
The game is often dark and low in contrast, making some objects difficult to make out. This is compounded by the fact that many interactive objects are very small.
Sound is important to playing the game as it gives you an idea of where the killer is and the route you can take to avoid him.
