Casual landscape building puzzle<\/em>
\nSteam page<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Accessibility<\/h2>\n

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<\/a> and Alt Controller<\/a>. Alltough I haven’t tested Voice Activated Commands<\/a> with Dorfromantik, I’m quite sure it will work, as well.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
