The P key headlines this release: scan anything, press P, hear the route. No cursor to place, no pin to set — scan, listen, keep scanning. And for anyone picking up the game fresh, TUTORIAL.md is the new guided tour, from your first scan to your first deploy.

Added

  • P with no cursor up speaks the path to the last spoken scan result — no pin set, no cursor moved. Scan, hear a target, P for the route, keep scanning.
  • P with a cursor up names what it pathed to: "path to cursor" in Look mode, "path to aim" while aiming a spell, "path to destination" for teleports.
  • One word per referent: scanned things are targets, Look's cursor is the cursor, a spell's is the aim — scans mid-aim say "From aim", not "From target".
  • Continue Run greets you with a briefing: realm, HP, shields, SP, active statuses, adjacent enemies with directions, ally count, and what remains.
  • Blood Bullet says "Obstructed by X" when the shot won't reach the aim — the first unit in the path, allies included. Blessed Blood's pass-through is respected.
  • Shop and crafting screens name still-active filters when they open — filters survive menu round trips, so a shortened list now says why.
  • J joined the spoken keybind reference (Shift+/), including that it moves your aim while a spell is up.
  • TUTORIAL.md: a new-player guide to the game and the mod, from first scan to first deploy. Linked at the top of the README.

Fixed

  • P no longer says "already at target" after leaving Look mode or casting without moving.
  • Summoned allies whose time runs out are "expired", not "died" — a kill the game never showed.
  • Enter while in Look mode says "Cancelled" (it closes the cursor, same as Escape) instead of the false "look: can't target self".
  • Item pickups and on-death warnings speak markup as words ("50 HP", not "bracket 50 HP colon heal bracket").
  • Minion self-heals are tagged Ally, matching their spawn announcements.
  • Deploy-screen tiles say the coordinate right after the unit's name, not glued to its last ability.

Install: download the zip, extract, and copy the screen_reader folder into Rift Wizard 3/mods/ — full steps, including first-time enabling, in the README.
