Hey everyone —
Duet is a free, 2-player chess variant, playable entirely in-browser, built screen-reader-first from the ground up rather than as an accessibility add-on. Standard algebraic notation for moves (e2e4), a square-query command to hear what's on any square, and a procedural audio cue (real oscillator/gain synthesis, not AI-generated) that tells you how close a piece is to the game's signature "Radius of Ruin" mechanic without needing to see the board at all.
Two new pieces beyond standard chess: Rebirth (queen movement, but anything that lingers near her gets Veiled — reduced to pawn-only movement) and Death (king movement, uncapturable, and a safe zone around him that blocks Rebirth's effect).
No download, just a browser tab.
Built for the Making Games Accessible jam
— feedback from anyone playing it with an actual screen reader is genuinely wanted, not just welcomed.
