Settings

From Outsider Arthouse

The game features a number of configuration options. Click the settings button in the sidebar or press Z to open the settings menu. Settings are divided into a number of sections under the following headings.

Theme[edit]

  • Art Style: Choose between 3D renders, hand-drawn art, or no art at all.
  • Dark Mode: The game features a dark theme for users who prefer it.
  • Font Size: You can adjust the font size of text in the game.
  • Text Window Opacity: Changes the opacity of the text window overlays during encounters. Use to improve readability.
  • Wide Screen Mode: For the sake of readability, game text will try to remain in a limited area in the center of the screen. If you're using a wider than normal monitor, or a monitor with a high resolution, this may make the text look too squished; this option can be used to fix this problem.

Audio[edit]

  • Volume: Adjust the master volume.
  • Mute All Audio: Mute all in-game audio.
  • Mute Music: Mute only music.
  • Mute Sound Effects: Mute only sound effects.

Gameplay[edit]

  • Economy: Adjusts the in-game economy. Decreasing this slider (moving it to the left) causes the economy to become more favorable toward the player and makes the game easier.
  • Lesbian Customers: Set the rate at which female customers appear when performing prostitution. Turning this all the way down (to the left) will prevent female customers from appearing at all. Turning it all the way up will make all customers females.
  • Prevent Urination Emergencies: If this setting is on, the player character will never wet herself. You will still gain the ingredient female urine at a fixed rate while playing, as though she did. This allows you to ignore most urination fetish content without missing out on ingredients.
  • Advancement Notifications: Controls whether and how often the game will display advancement notifications. By default, these are only shown when a new perk is unlocked.
  • Tutorials: Prevents certain pop-up tutorial messages from appearing. Some explanatory game text is still shown.

Performance[edit]

Some of these options are only available in the web version of the game.

  • Preload Images: Controls whether all images will be preloaded. This improves the game's performance and responsiveness, but can dramatically increase the startup load time. Some images are always preloaded, regardless of this setting.
  • Preload Audio: Controls whether all audio will be preloaded. This improves the game's performance and responsiveness, but can dramatically increase the startup load time. Some audio is always preloaded, regardless of this setting.
  • Autosave Frequency: Determines how often the game will autosave. Autosaves only occur when the player moves between areas or scenes. Having the game autosave very often may cause noticeable hitching or slow screen changes.

Content Shield[edit]

The content shield only blurs offending content, it does not remove it from the game!

  • Click to Reveal: If this setting is on, you can click any blurred text to reveal it. Useful if you're more on the fence about certain fetishes and worried you may not understand what's happening in a given scene.
  • Watersports: Turning this on blurs urination, wetting, and watersports content. Combined with the gameplay setting Prevent Urination Emergencies, you can play almost without any mention of urine in the game.
  • Lesbian: Turning this setting on blurs lesbian content, including groupsex or bisexual content involving multiple female characters. Also blurs futanari/female and futanari/futanari pairings.
  • Lactation: Turning this setting on blurs any content having to do with lactation or breast milk.
  • Degradation: Turning this setting on blurs more extreme degradation or humiliation content.
  • Group Sex: Turning this setting on blurs all group sex content; that is, any sexual scene involving more than two people.
  • Futanari: Turning this setting on blurs all futanari (women with penises) content.
  • Auto-Initiated Sex: Sometimes NPCs will initiate sexual encounters or contact with the player character. This setting blurs all such content.

Patron Options[edit]

These options are unique to the patron edition.

  • Enable Cheats: Allows you to access the built-in cheats. See below for a complete list of effects and options.
  • Disable Rent Payments: You will no longer have to make any rent payments. The status bar will still count down to when rent would normally be due.
  • Disable Emergencies: Shut off time-sensitive emergency behaviors, like passing out from hunger, urinating oneself, etc. Other negative effects, like penalties to social stats, will still apply.
  • Freeze Lust: Prevents lust from automatically increasing due to the passage of time. Lust can still change due to other effects, however.
  • Freeze Hunger: Prevents hunger from automatically increasing due to the passage of time. Hunger can still change due to other effects, however.
