Our Heavy Rain Accessibility Report documents 24 accessibility features:
There are three different difficulty levels that can be selected from the settings menu, and on the lowest difficulty, the reaction time for timed button presses is increased and the number of buttons in sequences and the number of simultaneous button presses are both greatly decreased.

Throughout the game, interactive objects are clearly highlighted with a glowing white outline, and buttons and actions that are required are overlaid over the gameplay similarly. The text in the game, including subtitles, is relatively large and is white with a black outline, ensuring it is relatively clear.

There is a section in the game where you need to remember the colour of the clothing of a character, which is important to note for people or those who struggle with memory recall.

With the Move Edition, you can use the Move controllers instead of using a regular Playstation 3 controller. Either way, there are motion controls that are a part of the gameplay but, where the Move edition gives you the choice of using either the regular controller or the Move controllers, the standard edition does not.
