Demo Update: Text-to-Speech, Keyboard, and Controller Support

Play the updated Upheaval demo now!

In this update, you can play Upheaval using text-to-speech, use keyboard or controller input, and pursue any of the adventure hooks in the new random village events.

Read about all the new and old accessibility features here.

[h2]Highlights from this update[/h2]

Text-to-speech available in all graphical versions! To activate text-to-speech, use these shortcuts:

  • Keyboard: Shift + T
  • Controller: Left stick button + Right stick button (together)




Full keyboard and controller support! Read about the default controls here. Controls will be made configurable in a future update, sometime before full release.



New random events in town! Each event will tell you about a new adventure you can go on, either short or long. Hopefully these provide fun options for players unsure of what to do next!
