I actually wrote to the guy a long time ago about accessibility in this game and he said it coulnd't be done as the cane taps are visual. I honestly don't mind this. I thought from the beginning that the game wouldn't be playable for us so am not mad about this at all. Yes it's not how blind people actually do things but that argument could be made for many games. Driving games. when the persons crashes they're okay to drive again. In real life they could die or be injered. Shooting games, you have to shoot enimies quite afew times to kill them while in reality one shot should do it. So this is why I'm not mad at this game.

>The teacher asks Cassie what’s in front of the fan. Apparently the only way Cassie can figure this out is to tap her cane. Yeah, the only way. She is in fact instructed to do this by her fully grown, very knowledgeable blind teacher. She does, and just like magic, she knows there’s a coffee mug in front of the fan! Wow! Now, maybe her cane actually hit the mug, which ya know, would risk knocking it over and possibly breaking it, but let’s say it did. I can’t verify that, being blind and all. But then why, if the mug was in cane-striking distance, would she not just reach out and find it that way? The whole thing is completely ridiculous and wrong, and sets up the game mechanic they’re trying to demonstrate to feel like an insult everytime you use it.

It's even worse than that, actually. The mechanic in the game falls into the "blind people have magical hearing" trope pretty hard. When you tap your cane in the game, you basically get a sonar-style picture of your surroundings as the "soundwave" travels out and back to you.
