Easy Way To Exit Game?
Hey,

May be a dumb question but is there an easy way to exit the game? It seems like you have to go to windowed mode and close the game which is a bit cumbersome.

Not all of us use a keyboard for board games!

Some of us use local network hardware such as Steam Link to play a variety of games, say in the lounge with friends and family, that only need a mouse (online versions of board games being a prime example).

The entire game only needs a mouse for absolutely every single command within the game to launch and play; literally the only thing we need a keyboard for is to exit - very annoying to have to go and borrow a keyboard (or buy another one just to exit this one game!) to be able to shut down.

Maybe a fringe case, but I'm sure there more people out there, presumably the design for an exit button already exists for Apple devices so why not share the love, eh?

The "Escape" key is your friend!

hello developer,

unfortunately there is no escape button.
I see 13 buttons but none of them is an exit button.

can you program one please?

Legend has it that he's still stuck on the main menu to this day looking for the ESC key.

I agree that there should be an exit game button, accessible by mouse/touchscreen.

I don't recall ever playing a game without an exit game button that can be pressed with a mouse click.

Since February 19, I have been stuck staring at the screen and trying to exit.

Someone bring me water.

You're not alone in wanting an easy way to exit and close game. I have never found a way to do this; and, believe me, I've clicked on everything to search for it. Now I just use the Windows key on my keyboard and then mouse over to the game, wait for the pop-up and then close it with an X-click. Very long way to do it, but that's what I've got. Won't help you if you don't have a keyboard.

Fastest way (with keyboard) is just going with ALT + F4
Easy enough to use Windowed mode and adjust resolution, so you have the close button too
Esc key/Windows key last options :steamhappy:
