Accessible, considered games made in Barcelona — designed for every player, including those who assumed the controller wasn't meant for them.
A short, single-player game for stepping away from the noise. Soft visuals, a meditative soundscape, zero fail states. No prior gaming experience assumed.
An exploration puzzle set in stylized Mediterranean terrain. Uncover paths hidden in plain sight. No enemies, no timers, no fail state — just you and the land.
Accessibility is not a post-launch patch. Every game we ship has full control remapping, colorblind simulation modes, reduced motion toggles, and screen reader compatible menus — because those decisions live in the first prototype, not the gold build.
Read our accessibility principlesEvery action remappable. Gamepad, keyboard, mouse — tested before shipping. Adjustable movement speed so tremor and limited range of motion don't block play.
No hidden timers, no punishing complexity. Cues are explicit, pacing is generous, and information surfaces when you need it — not all at once.
Protanopia, Deuteranopia, and Tritanopia presets. High-contrast mode. Scalable UI 50%–200%. WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios across all text — including within game menus.
Games4ALiving is an independent studio based in Barcelona's 22@ district, in a Poblenou block that has gone from textile factory to startup floor without losing its character. We don't treat accessibility as a feature to add — it's the constraint we design from. Manel Sort started the studio in 2024. Two games shipped. We are not a large team and do not plan to become one.

Full control remapping is a baseline, not a feature. What goes beyond it — and why most games still get it wrong.
