Awesome! Observing people playing the game and writing notes as they struggled definitely felt like how Valve describes their playtesting process.

If you're curious about game accessibility, especially in first-person environments for non-traditional gamers, I highly recommend looking up the work of Luke "Etra" Bender. It all comes down to slowly introducing mechanics that become assumed knowledge as the medium evolves. Hell, that's why I unironically made the manual for the game! Back in the day, people NEEDED that, otherwise they stick to trial and error.
