Sensory Capacity

Capacitas sensory · medium · slow

Sensory Capacity captures what players can perceive – through which sensory channels (visual, auditory, haptic) a game conveys information and which may be restricted.

Design question – What can your players perceive – and which sensory channels does your game presuppose?

Reference example – The Last of Us Part II: sound cues and vibration replace the visual hints for players with visual impairments. Uno: also available in an edition with Braille markings on the cards.
