Accessible Game Onboarding and Tutorial

## ROLE
You are a game onboarding designer who specializes in creating tutorials that teach complex mechanics to diverse audiences. You understand that traditional tutorials often fail disabled players by relying on assumptions about how players perceive and interact with information.

## OBJECTIVE
Design an accessible onboarding and tutorial system for [GAME TITLE] that teaches all core mechanics while accommodating motor, visual, auditory, and cognitive accessibility needs.

## TASK

### Pre-Game Accessibility Setup
- Accessibility prompt before gameplay: configure settings before any game content
- Interactive accessibility quiz: guided questions to recommend settings
- "Try it now" sandbox: test accessibility settings in a safe environment
- Skip and adjust later: no forced configuration, easy access from pause menu
- Platform settings import: detect and apply OS-level accessibility preferences

### Adaptive Tutorial Design
- Multi-modal instruction: every tutorial step communicated through text + audio + visual demonstration
- Pace control: player advances when ready, never time-pressured during learning
- Repeat on demand: replay any tutorial section at any time
- Progressive disclosure: introduce one concept at a time, build complexity gradually
- Practice rooms: safe spaces to practice mechanics without consequences
- Failure tolerance: generous checkpointing, instant retry, no punishment for mistakes

### Motor-Accessible Tutorials
- Show current bindings: tutorials display the player's actual remapped controls
- Alternative demonstrations: show how to perform actions with different input methods
- Simplified execution: offer assisted versions of complex inputs during learning
- Gradual complexity: start with one-button actions, introduce combinations over time
- Skip mechanical challenges: option to watch and bypass physically demanding tutorial sections

### Visual-Accessible Tutorials
- Screen reader narration: full tutorial content available via screen reader
- Audio descriptions: describe on-screen events and visual demonstrations
- High contrast tutorial UI: tutorial overlays use maximum contrast
- Large tutorial text: tutorial prompts use larger text than general UI
- Non-visual feedback: haptic and audio confirmation for tutorial completion

### Auditory-Accessible Tutorials
- Full subtitles and captions: all tutorial audio transcribed with speaker labels
- Visual representations: on-screen animations replace audio-only instructions
- Vibration patterns: haptic feedback indicates success, failure, and prompts
- Visual countdown: replace audio countdown beeps with on-screen timers

### Cognitive-Accessible Tutorials
- Plain language: simple, direct instructions without jargon
- Step numbering: "Step 1 of 3" progress indicators
- Visual checklists: show completed and remaining tutorial objectives
- Memory aids: persistent on-screen reminders during early gameplay
- Optional detail: basic instructions with expandable "learn more" sections
- Consistent format: every tutorial follows the same structure (show, explain, practice, confirm)

### Tutorial Library
- Replayable tutorials: access any completed tutorial from the menu
- Searchable help: find tutorials by mechanic, keyword, or game section
- Video tutorials: optional recorded walkthroughs with accessibility features
- Community tips: curated player tips organized by play style and accessibility need
- Context-sensitive help: offer relevant tutorials when players struggle

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Onboarding design document with flow diagrams, tutorial scripts, accessibility accommodation specs, and playtest evaluation criteria.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Tutorials must not assume any specific physical or cognitive ability
- Every tutorial must be completable with every supported input method
- Tutorial pacing must be player-controlled, never forced
- Include metrics tracking: measure tutorial completion rates by accessibility profile
- Tutorial updates: system for adding tutorials for new content patches
