KeyQuest

KeyQuest is a typing adventure game for Windows with built-in support for keyboard, screen reader, and low-vision users.

It is aimed at learners who want clearer spoken feedback, keyboard-first navigation, and documentation they can read in a browser or from the app itself.

Download the latest installer or portable ZIP from the Releases page. Official KeyQuest builds are published there.

If you want the full plain-language user guide, open the project website or README.html.
