Menu Settings

Master the menu settings in Return of the Obra Dinn! Learn how to adjust monitor display, output, controls, look sensitivity, invert vertical look, and audio volume for the best experience.

Alright, let's dive into the menu settings for Return of the Obra Dinn. These options let you tweak how the game looks and feels, so it's worth spending a moment to get them just right for you. We'll go through each one.

Monitor: This is where you can really change the game's visual style. By default, it's set to "Macintosh," giving you that classic 1-bit look. But you've got a few other options if you want to experiment:

• IBM 5151: Think a greenish tint, like an old Apple II.
• Zenith ZVM 1240: This one has a slightly orange-yellow hue.
• Commodore 1084: A blueish look, almost a nod to the Commodore 64/128.
• IBM 8503: This aims for a stark black and white, similar to MS-DOS.
• LCD: Offers a smoother black and white, with a bit more polish.

Output: Here, you can adjust the output controls. The default is "Smooth," but you can choose a slightly rougher setting if you prefer.

Controls: Currently set to "View," you can toggle these controls to your liking. This section is pretty straightforward, mostly about how you interact with the game's interface.

Look Sensitivity: This is a big one for how you move your view. The default is "Perfect," but you can really fine-tune it:

• Higher Settings: "Fast Side of Perfect," "Reasonably Fast," "Unreasonably Fast," and even "A Parody of Control" (which is a funny jab at lootboxes!).
• Lower Settings: "Slow Side of Perfect," "Just Slow," "Strugglish," and "Nearly Motionless."

Experiment here to find what feels best for aiming and looking around the ship.

Invert Vertical Look: A simple toggle. If you're used to inverted controls, you can switch this on. It's currently set to "No."

Audio Volume: This lets you adjust the overall sound. It's set to "Maximum" by default. You can lower it through several steps, including "Nearly Maximum," "Comfortably Loud," "Just Above Middle," "In the Middle," "Just Below Middle," "Quite Quiet," "Barely Audible," all the way down to "Muted." Keep in mind that the voices are crucial for gathering clues, and unfortunately, there aren't separate sliders for music or voices.

Quit to Title: Don't worry about losing progress here. The game automatically saves your progress when you choose to quit to the title screen, so you can take a break without losing any of your hard work.
