The MUD That Got It Right: How Erion Makes Text Gaming Accessible

I wrote last year about gaming as a blind, neurodivergent, chronically ill woman. I said MUDs should work for me because they’re text-based, but they usually don’t. The problem is topographical agnosia. Room-based navigation without explicit directions means I spend more energy trying not to get lost than I do playing the game.

I’ve been playing Erion for two days now. It’s the first MUD I’ve played where I’m not fighting the interface to access the game.
