Hades 2 TOLk Compatibility

NOTE: With full respect for Erumi321 an original author. I've just grab the mod and continued the work on it adding / fixing stuff.

Without this amazing developer that wouldn't be so easy to do.

Hades II mod which is a dependency of accessibility mods, using H2M we implement a screen reader through TOLk, one which replaces many of the icons in the game with the text they actually represent.

Features

• On Mousing over a button, the text within the button is read
• Icons within text are replaced by corresponding text [respects localization in most cases] (ie the Magick symbol is replaced by the word "Magick")

Install

• Download off of thunderstore
