Notes

  1. Unity engine build: 2020.1.17f1[1]
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1574260/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1574260) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. The Jump function can only be rebound when DUSK Mode is unlocked and enabled.

    Tested by starting My Friendly Neighborhood.exe while Steam is not running. The game successfully boots and plays without requiring Steam to boot up for authentication.

    Tested by playing the game at 3840x2160 resolution.
  6. Verified by User:MasterBlaster on 2023-07-31
    Tested by taking several screenshots in the same spot in the early part of the game at an angle with several AF sample rates and comparing them. The game appears to force 8x AF, as disabling and testing AF at lower strengths through Nvidia Control Panel resulted in blurrier textures. Forcing 8x AF through the Control Panel puts it at a match for the AF set by the game.
