Motion sickness
Hi
I am sensitive to motion sickness and I am very surprised and disappointed to discover that game causes so easily motion sickness. No one mentionned it yet in the forum. So, I bought the game and...I can't play more than 10 minutes without becoming nauseous for hours.

I don't know what is the cause of that motion sickness (too fast camera movements, the chosen FoV,..) but I hope the dev will fix that in a futur upgrade.

Purchase a bucket, problem solved.

It could be as simple as the frame rate on your system, which triggers a lot of people's motion sickness problems. Here, you have a camera that swings by itself to follow the snake's movement, and then you've got the stripy, wriggling form of the snake itself to contend with. If you have an Nvidia card, you can get a frame rate reading as an overlay via GeForce Experience (or various other software tools will do it, but this is the simplest).

I bought a different new indie game last week which was first-person view, and the frame rate is capped at 30fps. Whenever I turned the camera around, it was very uncomfortable indeed (although I don't get motion sickness, this is about the closest I've felt to it). VR famously needs to be 90fps or very close to it in order for people who are susceptible to motion sickness to use it safely, and the minimum of competing models is 60.

I played the game in 1080p60FPS.
I have no problem with a lot of first person games. Even on The Witness before the motion sickness fixing patch, the sickness was really low and only after hours of games. With Snake Pass, it happened very quickly.

I don't need a bucket. it's not exactly like a traveling sickness. It's only headache... that lated almost all the day for 20 minutes of game.

I cancelled my purchase.
