Apple Arcade Accessibility

Hello, all,
Has anyone found an accessible game on Apple Arcade? I have AppleOne, so I have access to the catalog, but most of the games I see there are very visual in nature and are not likely to work with VoiceOver.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I am always on the lookout for new games, and Apple Arcade offering so many for free was exciting to me, but none of them have shown up in the AppleVis directory yet, so I am not sure what works and what doesn't.

As far as I know, the first Lifeline game is the only accessible game available. I haven't tried the Arcade version because I don't want to subscribe, but the regular app is accessible, so I imagine the Arcade one should be as well.

Hi there,

Below are a couple of links that might be of interest to you. While I do not currently subscribe to Apple Arcade, I can definitely understand the appeal of $5 monthly for access to a ton of games. Unfortunately from the list below, I did not recognize any VO accessible titles.
Still, perhaps you will find the resource useful.

If you enjoy crime drama/Mysteries, then you may dig this game as well.

Apple keeps trying to get me to register for Apple one.
Because they keep telling me I will save money.
How is it saving money if I cannot access the games that they are promoting?
They really need to get on board and develop More assessable products for those of us that need it.
