Accessibility
- Difficulty: You can adjust the difficulty through three sliders. Received Damage adjusts how strong enemies are. Enemy Attack Frequency adjusts how quickly enemies attack. Puzzle speed adjusts how quickly you have to react to solve the puzzles.
- Reading: There is considerable reading. Dialogue is white text on a black background, with important words highlighted in yellow, but can't be resized. You can adjust the speed of the text and the amount of space around the text.
- Controls: You can opt to use the mouse to click near character to attack and use the mouse wheel to select elements. You can opt to tap rather than hold to access the menu. There is minimal remapping of gamepad button, but you can map two keys to every action on keyboard settings.
- Image calibration: You can adjust how large the pop-up information boxes are and how long they stay on the screen. You can also pick between hidden, normal and small for the head-up-display as well as what information pops up. You can select to have a pointer over the character who is talking. You can opt to show visual indicators for damage. You can adjust or turn off the screen shake. You can disable visual particle, weather and lighting effects. You can double the size of the graphics.
- Audio calibration: Adjust music and game sound volume separately.
