Developper notes

The game can be quite demanding to run. Here are our recommended settings based on your graphics card. We recommend keeping the scalability setting on “High” or above whenever possible, as lowering it has a significant impact on visual quality. Don’t worry though, the game is still enjoyable even if your system can’t run with the scalability on High.
