Soft Leaf Studios is a Belfast-based company founded in 2019. From the very beginning game accessibility has been their main goal. They have work closely with those from the disabled and neurodiverse communities to help them remove barriers from their game.

A lot of this work has been baked into the experience itself such as the readability of each dialogue line, the design of the puzzles, and information and menu layout.

There is a large array of accessibility options, that you can use to tweak the experience to your liking.

 

Stories of Blossom has been funded with the help of Future Screens NI, Northern Ireland Screen, and the UK Games Fund.
