Are web games actually viable now? Did they ever fix WebAudio? Can I access the modifier keys, or does the user still have to carefully avoid touching the lower

  I'm working on a visual novel, and I suspect 'low tech' people will enjoy playing it. I also suspect 'low tech' people don't have steam installed on their computers, but they will know how to click a link and play a game in their browser. I'm hoping to sell the game through Stripe on my own domain as well as on Steam. Time will tell whether I finish this game and whether the Web build defeats the Steam build. I'm hoping Web wins.

  I tried plain WebAudio gamedev in 2021, making a small 2d game library with no dependencies. Web Audio was the only place where I eventually caved and broke my no deps rule and used Howler.js instead. I forget the exact reason but I think autoplay on mobile devices was the thing I couldn't figure out, and howler had some workaround. If I did the project again I'd just copy paste the 3 lines or whatever that Howler uses for the workaround and bring dependencies back to zero.

  Not really, other than the usual causal stuff, for console like games, only streaming.
