As much as I like this game, it's way too hard to appreciate the "disabled" aspect when the game is nearly impossible with fucking illiteracy. I genuinely feel sorrow for anyone who got literally anything else and for sure failed every try. Overall, great idea, but it's way too hard for a normal person to play.
Reviews for "You Are Disabled"
Let's get the obvious out of the way: You Are Disabled is not a "fun" game. By this I mean the principal emotion/idea that this game tries to convey isn't "fun" and if that's what you are looking for then this game will not be for you. It also isn't always particularly "fair" particularly with the spastic disability.
What it is is an excellent look at what being disabled means. The frustration and anger you feel really hammer home how terrible certain individuals have it. And for that this game gets a 5/5 from me.
Sidenote: I was frustrated with one of the spastic levels when I got called to dinner. When I came back, I noticed that my character wasn't in the right level. I know that before when this happened after some idle time it usually meant my character moved left so my immediate reaction was to curse a little. However, I noticed after a minute or two that my character wasn't on-screen. With some experimenting, I realized he was above the level a la Mario 1-2. Intentional cheat or bug?
I know this game is supposed to be difficult, but when I play "spastic", it feels like my controls are being overridden by someone who is trying to kill me EVERY TIME! I've beaten this game with all disabilities, but your approach to "spastic" was so harsh that it wasn't even fun. For that, I'm afraid that I award you No Stars.
I also took the "shortcut" in "spastic", but I didn't get a different ending when I climbed the ladder. How do I get the secret medal because I'm not playing this game again unless I KNOW how to get it?
Kcori responds:
Why would you play a game again after you rated it 0/5 just to get a virtual medal?
it doesen't say how to change the disability
Great game despite being spastic/ nearly blind.
