The accessibility settings in hololive Dreams include colorblind-friendly note palettes, reduced motion options, subtitle and caption toggles, full button remapping, and scalable UI fonts, all available from the main settings menu without requiring a separate accessibility unlock. This accessibility settings guide covers each accessibility option, recommended configurations, and how to optimize the experience for specific play needs across mobile, PC, and console platforms.
Colorblind and Visual Modes
The colorblind and visual modes in hololive Dreams include three note palettes (Default, Deuteranopia, Protanopia), a high-contrast lane overlay for low-vision play, an optional note shape mode that replaces color cues with circle / square / triangle indicators, and a reduced-brightness mode for photosensitive players. Each mode can be combined, and the settings preview updates in real time so players can immediately see the impact of each toggle before committing to a configuration.
The recommended colorblind setup is to combine the Deuteranopia palette with note shape mode for red-green colorblindness, because the shape indicator provides redundant cueing independent of color discrimination. Players with Tritanopia should use Protanopia, which the game maps to blue-yellow shifts. High-contrast mode is also worth enabling alongside the colorblind palette for players who play in bright ambient lighting where the default palette becomes hard to distinguish.
| Visual Mode | Best For | Cue Type |
|---|---|---|
| Default | No color deficiency | Color only |
| Deuteranopia | Red-green | Color + shape |
| Protanopia | Blue-yellow | Color + shape |
| High-contrast | Low vision | Shape + glow |
Input Remapping and Assistive Controls
The input remapping and assistive controls in hololive Dreams include full button remapping for controller and keyboard, touch sensitivity scaling for mobile, hold-to-tap conversion for players who cannot sustain pressure, a one-handed mode that limits lanes to the lower three positions, and a slow-lane auto-hold that extends the timing window for lane 1 and lane 4 notes. Each input setting can be configured per-platform, so a player who uses both PC and mobile can save different input profiles for each.
The recommended setup for one-handed players is the one-handed mode plus slow-lane auto-hold, which together convert the rhythm game into a three-lane experience with extended timing windows. Players with motor difficulties should also enable reduced-trigger sensitivity for controller play, which prevents accidental lane activation from micro-tremors. For keyboard players, the hold-to-tap conversion is the most impactful single setting, because it eliminates the need for sustained key pressure during long note sequences.
| Input Setting | Best For |
|---|---|
| One-handed mode | Limited mobility |
| Hold-to-tap | Pressure difficulty |
| Reduced sensitivity | Tremor control |
| Slow-lane auto-hold | Timing difficulty |
Subtitles, Captions, and Audio
The subtitles, captions, and audio accessibility in hololive Dreams include always-on subtitles for event story dialogue, caption toggle for holomem voice lines during rhythm play, mono-audio output for single-earbud users, audio cue enhancement that boosts the rhythm track relative to background music, and a separate volume slider for sound effect categories that players can adjust for audio cue clarity. The subtitle language follows the in-game text language setting, so Japanese audio with English text or vice versa is fully supported.
The recommended audio setup for hearing-impaired players is mono-audio output plus caption toggle plus audio cue enhancement, which together make the rhythm timing accessible without requiring high-volume listening. Players with full hearing should keep stereo audio for the full mix but enable captions for story scenes to avoid missing context. The audio cue enhancement is particularly valuable for chart practice because it isolates the rhythm timing track from the background music, which makes mis-timed inputs easier to identify.
| Audio Setting | Best For |
|---|---|
| Mono audio | Single earbud |
| Caption toggle | Hearing impairment |
| Audio cue boost | Rhythm clarity |
| Subtitles | Story scenes |
Reduced Motion and UI Scaling
The reduced motion and UI scaling options in hololive Dreams include a reduced-motion toggle that disables the parallax background animation, removes the result screen celebration effects, and slows the transition speed between screens. The UI scaling slider lets players enlarge interface text from 100% to 200% without affecting gameplay visual elements. The result screen toggle is independent from the broader reduced-motion setting, so players who want one without the other can configure each individually.
The recommended reduced-motion setup is to enable the toggle plus reduce the result screen celebrations, because the full celebration can be disorienting for players with vestibular sensitivity. Players who use the UI scaling slider at 150% or higher should also enable large-button mode, which increases touch targets on mobile and ensures that the larger interface text does not push buttons off-screen.
| Setting | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Reduced motion | On |
| UI scale | 150-200% |
| Large buttons | On (mobile) |
| Result celebration | Off |
Platform-Specific Recommendations
The platform-specific accessibility configurations in hololive Dreams vary based on input method and screen size, and the recommended setup for each platform addresses the most common friction points. Mobile players benefit most from large-button mode and touch sensitivity scaling, because the default touch targets are sized for stylus input rather than thumb play. PC players benefit most from hold-to-tap conversion and full keyboard remapping, which together make the game accessible for keyboard-only play.
Console players benefit most from reduced-trigger sensitivity and the one-handed mode, because the controller ergonomics can be difficult for extended play sessions. Cross-platform players who switch between devices should save separate input profiles per platform to avoid carrying mobile touch configurations to PC and triggering mis-input. The settings menu supports up to three saved input profiles per platform.
| Platform | Top Priority Settings | Secondary Features |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | Large buttons + touch scaling | D-pad navigation |
| PC | Hold-to-tap + key remap | Cloud save transfer |
| Console | Reduced trigger + one-handed | Reduced sensitivity |
| Cross-platform | Per-platform input profiles | Sharing code |
Saving and Sharing Configurations
The accessibility configurations in hololive Dreams can be saved per-user-profile, exported as a shareable code, and imported from another player who shared their configuration. This makes it easy for players with similar accessibility needs to benefit from each other's configurations, and the import code is platform-agnostic so a mobile-friendly configuration can be imported to PC and adapted with a few key remap changes.
The recommended workflow for sharing is to enable all relevant settings, fine-tune each toggle to the player's needs, save the profile, and then export the share code from the Accessibility menu. The share code is 12 characters long and works once before expiring, so players who want to share widely should re-export periodically.
| Sharing Action | Best For |
|---|---|
| Export profile | Sharing with friends |
| Import code | Quick setup from known config |
| Per-user profile | Household multi-account |

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the accessibility settings in hololive Dreams?
The accessibility settings are available from the main settings menu under Accessibility, and no unlock or progression is required. Each setting can be toggled independently and previewed in real time so players can see the impact of each toggle before saving the configuration.
Can I use colorblind mode and note shape mode together in hololive Dreams?
Yes, colorblind mode and note shape mode can be combined for redundant cueing. This is the recommended setup for red-green colorblindness, because the shape indicator provides independent cueing beyond color and ensures that the player can identify notes even if the palette is hard to distinguish in bright lighting.
Does one-handed mode affect rhythm scoring in hololive Dreams?
One-handed mode restricts play to three lanes and applies minor scoring adjustments. The mode is designed for accessibility rather than competitive play, so it does not penalize accuracy but does reduce maximum combo potential. Players who want competitive accuracy should disable one-handed mode and use the slow-lane auto-hold toggle instead, which provides extended timing windows without restricting the playfield.
Can I reset all accessibility settings to default in hololive Dreams?
Yes, the Reset to Default button at the bottom of the Accessibility menu restores all visual, input, audio, and motion settings to their launch defaults. The reset is reversible by re-enabling any setting, and individual settings can also be reset one at a time without affecting the rest of the configuration.
Do accessibility settings sync across devices in hololive Dreams?
Accessibility settings are stored locally per device and do not sync across platforms by default. Players who switch between mobile and PC should manually mirror the configuration on each device, or use the cloud save transfer feature documented in the save data transfer guide to migrate accessibility settings alongside save data.
