Casual landscape building puzzle
Steam page
Dorfromantik is beautiful puzzle game in which the player has to build a landscape that contains villages, lakes, railroads and rivers. Your job is to build everything by use of hexagonal tiles that come in randomized stacks of a limited number. If you know Settlers of Catan you know how tiles need to fit together. Most score points will come your way if each edge fits neighbouring tiles perfectly.
Accessibility
Dorfromantik is not the brightest star in accessibility-heaven but it does a decent job when it comes to on-screen-keyboards, Enable Viacam Headmouse and Alt Controller. Alltough I haven’t tested Voice Activated Commands with Dorfromantik, I’m quite sure it will work, as well.
There are a few keys that are needed in order to control the game fluently but with the Windows OSK that’s doable. Still, zooming and rotating the table is rather uncomfortable, therefore I created an Alt Controller profile. It works best with the game in windowed mode at a resolution of 1760×990, because of the screenspace that Enable Viacam Headmouse eats up with its click-window.
