Sanctuary Accessibility Instruments
CONCRETE CONTROLS & INTERFACE GUARANTEES
Every visual and interactive component on LynxLantern follows strict horological tolerances for contrast, motion control, and assistive technology support.
Silent Hero Video & Reduced-Motion Controls
The opening hero stage on our home page features a brief, silent looping ambient video of Lynxor Vael and Lanterra Korr beside the Lantern-Engine. It carries no audio track so it will never clash with screen readers.
- Automatic Still-Image Replacement: When your operating system or browser has
prefers-reduced-motion: reduceenabled, the video does not autoplay; the stage automatically presents the high-resolution still key art instead, and ambient CSS button pulses and hover transitions are stilled. - On-Screen Pause Control: When motion is enabled, a dedicated, keyboard-accessible Pause/Play toggle button sits directly in the corner of the hero stage so you can halt or resume playback at any moment.
High-Contrast Typography & Calm Grounds
Long-form reading passages, Watch Codex guides, and verified game facts sit on calm, solid Nocturnal Basalt and Crucible Slate panels (#081018 and #0E1824) rather than busy unmasked imagery.
- Luminance Contrast: Primary Lantern Cream headings (
#FFF3D1), crisp Slate body copy (#E2E8F0), and Astrolabe Cyan facts links (#4DD0E1) exceed the WCAG 2.2 AA 4.5:1 contrast ratio for standard text and 3:1 for large display type and UI borders. - Text Scaling & Reflow: Type sizes scale fluidly from
320pxmobile screens up to widescreen displays, and layouts reflow cleanly up to 200% browser zoom without horizontal scrolling or clipped passages.
Keyboard Navigation & Touch Targets
Every interactive element—navigation links, mobile drawer toggles, expandable game facts disclosures, and official game links—can be reached and activated using only a keyboard.
- Skip to Main Content: Pressing
Tabupon arriving on any page reveals a high-visibility burnished-gold Skip to main content pill link at the top-left of the viewport. - Visible Focus Rings & Target Size: Focused controls display an unmistakable
2pxAstrolabe Cyan outline (#2CE5D8) with a clear offset, and every interactive button or link meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.2 minimum target size of24×24px.
Screen Readers & JavaScript-Free Operation
Our pages are structured with semantic HTML5 landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, and <footer>) and a single, logical heading hierarchy starting with one <h1> per page.
- Descriptive Alt Text & Link Context: Every original game cover illustration and character portrait carries descriptive alternative text, while decorative brass borders and ambient backdrops are marked
alt=""so they never clutter screen-reader output. External official game links include screen-reader notices indicating they open in a new tab. - Works Without JavaScript: All prose, expandable
<details>facts blocks, and navigation links remain complete and readable even if JavaScript is disabled.

How to Help Us Diagnose a Barrier
When writing to request an accessible format or report a technical issue, sharing any of the following details helps our watchmakers reproduce and resolve the problem quickly:
- The page URL or section name (for example, the First Watch on the Sanctuary home page or the Watch Codex comparison table).
- The nature of the barrier or the specific accessible format you prefer (such as plain-text documentation, large-print layout, or structured data).
- The browser, operating system, or assistive technology you were using at the time (for example, NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS, TalkBack, or keyboard-only navigation).
Third-Party Official Game Websites
LynxLantern is an independent editorial guide. When you follow a Visit Official Site button to play one of the featured browser games—such as Melvor Idle, Legends of Idleon, Milky Way Idle, Kittens Game, Evolve, Trimps, Cookie Clicker, Antimatter Dimensions, or Synergism—you leave lynxlantern.site and enter a third-party domain managed by that game's independent developer or publisher. While we verify and summarize each game's core mechanics and store disclosures on our accessible cards, we do not control the interface code or accessibility conformance of external game portals.
