Motive have included some excellent accessibility options here
Dead Spacereturns today with just a few tweaks from devs Motive Studio, and among these are a bevy of accessibility options. One noticeable standout is the option to receive a warning when something potentially sensitive or disturbing is about to happen during Isaac Clarke’s Necromorph-filled trek around the derelict, deadly USG Ishimura. Players are even able to hide any disturbing scenes, if they want. It’s an interesting option to provide in a full-onhorror game.

“The other option will actually hide the upcoming scene behind a screen effect. You’ll still hear any audio, but a blurring effect will hide the visuals until the scene has played out.”
As someone with longstanding visual issues, I always appreciate when studios make an effort with accessibility. Motive haven’t just added in the scare warnings for players, either. They’ve included a whole bunch of varied options to tailor the experience. These range from control customisation, aim assistance, and colourblind mode, to turning off camera shake and the game’s iconic floating menus. My particular favourite is the option to adjust font sizing for subtitles, because tiny and hard to read fonts have stopped me from playing games far too many times.
