When you arrive at the page, you'll see a list of available files. Here's how to pick the right one:
- Windows Users: Look for a file that includes "windows" or "win" in its name, usually ending with
.exeor.zip. Choose the latest version. - macOS Users: Find a file with "mac" or "macos" in the name. It might end with
.dmgor.app.zip. - Linux Users: Look for "linux" in the filename. These often come as
.AppImage,.deb, or.tar.gzfiles.
Windows might show a "SmartScreen" warning when you first run the application. This is normal for new or unsigned software. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway" to proceed. Your system is safe — this application is open source and has been reviewed by many users.
Once you launch the game, you'll be greeted with the title screen. Here's what to expect:
- Main Menu — Navigate with your mouse or keyboard arrows. Select options with "Enter" or a mouse click.
- Save/Load System — The game includes a save feature, so you can pick up where you left off. Save points are located throughout the story.
- Controls — The default controls are simple: arrow keys or WASD for movement, space for confirm, and escape for pause. You can customize these in the options menu.
- Take Your Time — This is a story-driven game that rewards patience. Explore every corner of the environments and talk to everyone you meet.
- Pay Attention — The narrative is complex and layered. Read all the text carefully to understand the full plot.
- Save Often — You never know when a choice might lead you down a different path. Save before important decisions.
- Adjust the Volume — The sound design is crucial to the atmosphere. Use headphones for the best experience.
Even though this client is designed to be hassle-free, sometimes things go wrong. Here are solutions to common issues:
- Windows: Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed. Go to your computer manufacturer's website and search for "graphics drivers update."
- macOS: Check that your macOS version is recent. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Software Update.
- Linux: Ensure that your system has the necessary multimedia codecs. Open your package manager and install
ffmpegorgstreamer.
- Try changing your screen resolution in the game's settings menu.
- Update your graphics card drivers.
- Check if your computer meets the basic requirements (any computer from the last decade should work).
- Verify that your system volume is not muted.
- Check the in-game audio settings.
- Try plugging in headphones instead of using built-in speakers.
