232 - Disability in Games - Is To a T about living with disability?
Manage episode 491090267 series 2856133
In this second part of our disability discussion, Alex, Jem, and Matt dive into To a T. A quirky, cosy narrative game with a quietly powerful take on difference, access, and fitting in. It’s weird, whimsical, and worth talking about.
Key Talking Points
- Is a game that explores life's challenges in T-pose an allegory for living with disability?
- Teenager uses long-handled spoons and rides a unicycle, normalising adaptations.
- Is it ever helpful to discuss disability and superpowers in the same breath?
- Why does a game about needing and using adaptations to tackle the 'little things' lack basic accessibility features for players?
What do you think? Is To a T about living with disability?
