Just a reminder that the one of the prinicple markets for IF
games is visually impaired users, one of us being included in
that group. If sound is to be used, it should not interfere with
any screen reader software. I realize this can be hard to check
for authors, but that is what beta testing is all about :-).
Seriously, I think it is quite novel that while so many IF games
are very visual in their rendering of scene (not implying
graphically, but textually), they are nonetheless so popular with
people who don't use that sense in their daily lives.
