Video settings
- The Decal Limit value sets the decal's decay rate before disappearing. It should be set to Off for the best effect.
Input settings
Controller support
- The game has built in support for controllers, but the default controls for spellcasting are so obtuse (right stick to any four main directions and 1/4 to either side) that use of the keyboard is recommended.
- Third party scripts have been created to apply a much more sane control scheme for use with controllers, and can be found here.
Audio settings
- Chapter introductions are spoken normally; language spoken in-game is gibberish.
