Accessibility Notes
There is never any need to do things quickly or have fast reactions, as the game mostly revolves around conversations where you have as long as you need to choose a reply/dialogue option.
While some of the text is fairly small and of low contrast to the background, the subtitles are large and clear. While there is voice acting, it is in Czech.
The conversations you have are shot with a real camera so there is motion blur and depth of field, but these are mostly shot from a locked-off perspective and facing a mostly static subject. The other parts of the game have no motion blur and are also mostly static.

Reaction-Time Not Critical: Individual game actions don’t need quick reactions, or there are settings to lower the requirement for quick reactions.
