Hello,
maybe we need to clarify some terms?
Does the IGDA have some time of glossary?


Game Accessibility:
yes: "Game Accessibility can be defined as the ability to play a game even
when functioning under limiting conditions. Limiting conditions can be
functional limitations, or disabilities - such as blindness, deafness, or
mobility limitations."

no: A game is easy to learn and understand.



Audio Game:
yes: A game that can be played only with sound (it can have graphics but it
does not have to). Usually they do not have graphics at all.

no: A game where the sound is also important for gameplay.


Best regards,
Sandra
