btw gamedev accessibility check speedrun tactic is just have every element use at least two senses. i also think of it as the nirnroot test, specifically because of the plant in Skyrim that glows and makes a weird noise at you so you can locate it.
often, because these are games, that will be "sight" and "sound", but with things like controller rumble it can also include "touch". most games do not include "taste" and "smell", but to the devs out there inevitably working on that, you have my respect.
anyways. the multi-sense check is basically:
if something is only present as an audio cue, like a sound effect in a certain direction, add a visual effect / cue or captions that include a directional indicator. if all dialogue is spoken, try to include subtitles (even better if you have various font sizes, or light and dark mode toggles).
if something is only present as a visual cue, like an item you can interact with being a different color, add an audio effect like a sound that plays when you're touching an interactive object. if all dialogue is written, try and include text to speech options, voice actors (a big ask, I know) or compatibility with screen readers.
it doesn't cover every situation (toggles for flashing, snow / rain / particle effects, high pitched noises, etc for example only affect one sense) but if you're really lost on where to start with making your work accessible. well. it's a start!

Confession: I love the Nirnroot sound. I don't know why people hate it. I just find it soothing.
