I built another game, and it's finally playable.
Alembic is a text alchemy game, built for screen readers first. You start with fire, water, earth, and air, then combine them two at a time to discover 82 elements and chase 20 goals. No drag-and-drop, no timers, no fail states. Just buttons, a cauldron, and the little rush of a new discovery.
It's in alpha. It saves your progress automatically, and every element has a short line of flavor read aloud when you find it.
