FATHOMFALL Accessibility Statement
Effective date: 2026-06-23
Version: 1.1
FATHOMFALL (the "Game") is operated by Venture Returns LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Venture Returns," "we," "us," or "our"). We want the FATHOMFALL game (the "Game") to be usable and enjoyable by as many people as possible, including players with disabilities. This statement describes our accessibility goals, the standard we work toward, the accessibility features we provide, known limitations, and how to reach us.
Accessibility feedback and requests: privacy@fathomfallgame.com, or by mail at Venture Returns LLC, 117 S. Lexington St., Ste. 100, Harrisonville, MO 64701, USA.
1. Our commitment and conformance target
We are working to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. We treat accessibility as an ongoing effort and aim to align with relevant requirements, including Section 508 (U.S.) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA), as we continue to develop the Game.
Conformance means more than a one-time check: we work to build accessibility into the Game's design and to address issues as we find them. Some parts of a real-time, fast-paced game present accessibility challenges; we describe known limitations in Section 4.
2. Accessibility features
The Game includes player-configurable accessibility options, available in Settings:
- Reduced motion: lowers or removes non-essential animation and motion effects, and we respect your browser/OS "reduce motion" preference.
- Color-accessibility / colorblind mode: adjusts color use so information is not conveyed by color alone.
- Adjustable input sensitivity: lets you tune control responsiveness to your needs.
- Audio off by default: the Game does not play sound until you choose to enable it, and your choice is remembered, so you are never surprised by audio.
We also work toward:
- Keyboard accessibility: operating interactive controls and navigating menus via the keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and managed focus order.
- Semantic structure and assistive-technology support: using semantic HTML and appropriate ARIA so screen readers can interpret interface elements and state.
- Readable contrast and scalable text: sufficient color contrast and layouts that respond to text scaling and different viewport sizes.
3. Standards and approach
We use semantic HTML, follow established accessibility patterns for custom interactive controls, support full keyboard operation with visible focus, respect the prefers-reduced-motion preference, and test the Game across phone, tablet, and desktop sizes. Accessibility is part of our definition of "done" for new features.
4. Known limitations
We are candid about where we are not yet fully there:
- Real-time, time-sensitive gameplay can be challenging for some players; we are exploring further options (such as additional timing and difficulty accommodations).
- Some newer or experimental features may not yet meet our full conformance target at launch; we prioritize fixing accessibility gaps as we identify them.
If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please tell us: your feedback directly shapes our roadmap.
5. Feedback and requesting accommodations
If you have trouble using any part of the Game, or you need information in an accessible format, contact us at privacy@fathomfallgame.com. Please include:
- A description of the problem;
- The page, screen, or feature involved;
- The device, browser, and any assistive technology you were using.
We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback promptly and to work with you on a solution or reasonable alternative.
6. Changes to this statement
We will update this statement as the Game's accessibility evolves, revising the version and effective date below.
