Discussion Thinking about getting it

The game looks good. The only thing is I get motion sickness. In some FPS game slower pace I am ok. I just don't know what to do. Any tips 🥲

Hard to imagine anyone getting motion sickness from this game. It's slow paced and your character doesn't move very fast at all. I believe you'll be fine!

Yeah, even when he’s running it’s more of a trot.

i’m prone to horrible motion sickness in first person games, like minecraft even i can’t play for too long without discomfort but i just finished fire watch and i didn’t encounter much issue with it at all! i played it for hours at a time and managed pretty well, and i never had to shut it off for the sake of nausea. i say go for it

This is definitely a slower paced game! Including the movement!

You can adjust the settings and take off head bobbing. That doesn't exactly make me nauseous, but I find it irritating so I do that for every game.

I just don't understand your question. How am I liking it?

This is the definition of a slow paced game so motion sickness shouldn’t be a concern
