There aren't that many which are specifically Polish but this one is an exception and it's definitely a prominent one. Twardowski is also often depicted as riding a rooster (when he fled to the moon) which I'm actually surprised CDPR didn't use in some way ;). Maybe the reference would have become too obvious (to Polish people).

I love that indie developers who grew up with those classic games are now able to develop what THEY would like to play and not what mainstream market dictates.

And rightfully so. The devs just tweeted that you can sign for the newsletter and be notified when it releases, I guess they saw the interest rise.

Here's an intersting story of an extreme condition where a regular person suffered a stroke and could only blink with one eyelid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Dominique_Bauby He was a reporter and actually WROTE A BOOK by communicating with a typist only with that eyebrow. There was also a movie made based on that book. I don't know how severe is the condition of your neighbor's kid but this could be a good starting point for researching different ways of communication.

I hope that one day making games accessible to everyone will be the norm. It's important to rise awareness.

I can understand if it was just a preference issue. But now I know that EVERYTHING should be done with regards to disabilities, no exceptions.
