Graphics setting request

[Torchiest]

First off, this game is very cool. Great art style, love the music, fun gameplay, etc etc. Solid all around. Having said that, I've noticed that the subtle swaying of the cards and other elements on the screen is giving me a touch of motion sickness. An option to disable that movement would be fantastic.

Agree with everything said above, the swaying cards and moving background killed me. Had to turn it off after 15 minutes.

... had the opposite effect to me.

First, I was blinded by the chromatic aberration and floating aliasing effects. It felt like trying to play a card game while on acid.

After about those 15 minutes ... my brain adjusted to what my eyes were seeing and I was immersed in playing cards, not noticing any of the effects before.

Biology. It's a marvelous and strange thing.

What I do not get - honestly - are people complaining about video games causing them motion sickness to the developers of video games.

If you are prone to motion sickness (if that is REALLY what you are experiencing - go to a doctor?), you should stay away from video games that are causing you this, instead demanding that the developers change their game, they came up with and decided to make a certain way ... because of you - and your 'illness'.

Equally, people prone to seizures, still playing video games or watching TV and movies in the dark, cannot blame those for their condition. Avoid them then, instead of insisting to consume thing that make you sick and demanding that everyone else has to comply with them?

Voicing our issues is not a demand. It's a request. About a decade ago, I wasn't affected by moving backgrounds with text in front of them. Then I grew older. I started documenting the games that caused me motion sickness, and there are about a dozen of them that I've identified at this point.

If the dev(s) doesn't want to do anything about the issue, then I'll never play it. If they do, I will.

Could we have some non wavy backgrounds? Like low-fi space invaders space or just something simple?

Go to doctor and what? Ask him to contact with devs to disable crappy fx in their games? xD

Requesting more options to disable annoying things is not a problem, problem is when devs love this blurry, swaying things with no option to disable it, just give "off" option, is "destroying experience"? Or "artist's visions"? Ok, "I" destroy "this experience" but at least people can play, now certainly they can't.


I don't know why for some people adding more options is some kind of problem. And doctors won't fix motion sickness from motion blur, swaying backgrounds or narrow fov's, options will.

What refresh rate are you playing on? Playing at a higher refresh rate may help.

Yep, turned everything off after playing for the first time yesterday. It's better, but still headache inducing. It needs an option to remove all animation.

How to turn off animated background? Cand find this option.

During the demo, there wasn't an option to turn off the constantly moving background. I imagine someone would report into this thread if it got changed.

+1 would be nice to have things static and not so blurry

edit: maybe i was blind before, but i saw settings under "game" that reduce shake, even makes the background be static, and some other nice options to speed up game and increase card contrast

This coming from someone that actually thinks the game is better with the movement, but I could understand some having motion sickness.

In April, the static option wasn't available. I forget when the patch was, but the feature we asked for has been implemented. ^.^

Edit: Here is the patch that added static background option: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2379780/view/4208127528883891675
