How do I exit the game?

[Cybolic]

This may seem like an odd question, but I can't find a way to either bring up an in-game menu or exit the game. The closest I can get is pressing the START button on my Steam Controller or pressing Escape on my keyboard, which prints "Explore the mansion". Am I missing something?
(I'm on Linux btw.)

When in game if you press Start (or escape) it brings up the pause menu. Across the top of the screen it should show Resume/Config/Quit. Select Quit, and then Quit to Menu, or Quit to Desktop.

If you don't see these you might be running at a weird resolution (a long vertical resolution for instance sometimes cuts this off, so if you happen to run this in portrait mode). Or if you're running version 2.1.x.40 you may have the bug where if you change the quality settings various UI graphics disapear which has been fixed in 2.1.x.41.

Ah, that sounds likely. I'm on an ultra-wide monitor (3440x1440) and other games have shown a tendency to cut things off.

I'll fiddle with the resolution and see if it helps, if not, handling "overscan" wouldn't be out of theme of the period the game emulates ;)

Just tried again and even if those options are there (I still don't see them), there's no way for me to activate them. I've tried the cursor keys, joystick and tab and I still can't activate anything to exit the game (other than killing the process).

I'll have to test this game at ultra wide screen and see what happens.

I'll let you know when I get a chance.

[edit]

I just took a look and yes, the resizing causes the top of the screen text to cut off. Unfortunately at this time I can't easily patch the game to support ultra wide settings (we're in active ep2 development at this moment). When I get a chance to return back to this build branch I may be able to put in ultra wide screen support.

In the mean time I'd advise playing the game at 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio, noting that the game is artistically intended to be played at 4:3. At ultra wide mode you may have camera clipping issues and other things where you can see into rooms you shouldn't, or into the black abyss outside of rooms.

Note, the icons are there, they're just above your screen when in ultra-wide. When the menu opens it starts on 'Resume' being highlighted. If you press right once (D on keyboard) then Config should be highlighted, and if you press it twice then Quit should be highlighted. If you then select (space bar on keyboard) it should go into that menu and you should be able to see most of that sub-menu.

I can't change the resolution of my screen (well, I can, but the game doesn't do it), so I can't play it in anything other than 21:9 without messing up the rest of my workspace. Your "walkthrough" on how to reach the quit menu worked though, so it'll do for now; thanks :)

You can't play it in windowed mode?

On the title screen if you go into Settings you should find where you can change the resolution and also put it in/out of fullscreen/window mode.

Windowed mode works with a bit of configuration in i3. It's not perfect as I'm really not a fan of seeing my desktop in the background, but it'll do for now I guess.
Still haven't figured out how to target enemies, so I am growing a bit tired of playing the same stretch of game over and over (can't get my character to target the damn dog jumping through the window), so I might wait until the next update before playing again.
