We've worked with a number of visually-impaired beta testers during the development of Fallen London mobile, and we're keen to make Fallen London (both mobile and browser) as accessible as possible.
With that in mind, this is a thread for visually-impaired users to discuss the game, suggest accessibility improvements and connect for social acts.
If you're primarily looking to make friends, there's also a general meeting-people thread here.

Greetings!
I'm a blind player, and found this amazing game. I'd like to provide feedback on accessibility, mostly regarding graphic labelling and some way to indicate the colour borders of items.
At your service,

One of the things that could be changed, is the alt attribute of the icons. They include the path to the file, and makes a lot of noise 
An example below
alt="//d39jqyxiuv7ej3.cloudfront.net/icons/owlsmall.png - Observation, intelligence, deduction."
Cheers,
Father Torque

I agree there's a lot of noise. A question how do you equip or use an item with the app? Great game!

I've been told by a sighted friend, that on every mission there are icons indicating the pre requisites. This information would be very useful, and it is not available to screen readers. maybe a way on how the tooltip is created, alt/title attribute for the icons, or plainly text description in the storylet.
Cheers

Father Torque, I don't know how viable this would be for you, but there is an extension to Fallen London that adds branch and storylet perquisites as plan text. Instructions are available here: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic183-echo-bazaar-user-script.aspx

Incidentally, Father, I assume your name is a reference to the biker-priest from Lucasarts' Full Throttle? Love that game!
