Hello Kitty: Island Adventure is a role-play game where you're stranded on an island with other Hello Kitty characters. You build a town, interact with the villagers, and explore the island for resources and to meet new characters. It brings Animal Crossing's vibrant life simulation to non-Nintendo platforms with the added attraction of Hello Kitty for young players.

NotesAccessibility Notes

Some activities, such as fishing, require you to have quick reactions, although the game in general is fairly laidback and low-pressure. There is an autosaving feature, although it puts you in the town centre when you next play, not where you were when you stopped, so you can lose progression, although only in terms of traversal.

Text, including subtitles, is high in contrast but is less than 1/20th of screen height.

Assistance Getting Starting

These features aid your play of the game in terms of cognitive load on learning controls, dealing with pressure and coping with the environment and challenges.

ReadingReading

We've documented 4 accessibility features for Reading in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure which deal with how much reading or listening comprehension is required, how well the game provides visual and audible access to the text and whether subtitles and captions are a good fit for purpose.

Reading Level

How much reading is required to play the game's main path or story and how complex the language is. The presence of voiced characters doesn't reduce this requirement, as it's recorded as a separate datapoint.

Moderate Reading: Moderate reading required. The quantity and complexity of reading are at a level that a high school student (14-year-old) would appreciate.

Text Visibility

High Contrast Text: Text colour contrasts to the background or can be adjusted to be. The text in menus, instructions and other information is presented in high contrast with a solid background.

Subtitles

All Speech Subtitled (Or No Speech In Game): All spoken content has subtitles, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to hear spoken dialogue or narrative to play the game.

Captions

Speaker Indicator: Textual captions indicate who is speaking (or there is only ever one person speaking). This can also be indicated visually in the game with character icons or placing text in speech bubbles next to the person speaking.

Head-Up Display Navigation: Indication of where to go next with overlaid arrows, minimaps and waypoint markers. This supplements in-game visual and audible cues with additional guidance about where you are and where you need to go.

Game Map: View a map of the game world during play, with the landscape, points of interest and missions highlighted throughout the entire game. This enables the orientation of the player and the world, confirming a direction of movement and the location of destinations or points of exploration.
