Game Settings is a mystery adventure about a journalist being sent a strange console

A mystery adventure where you're a journalist who has received a strange package, which turns out to be a console and a game. Game Settings sounds quite unique.

This console and game together give you "No combat, no score, no objectives, only movement, and a menu full of cryptic settings you’re meant to adjust." - so the game is all about adjusting the settings of the game. But, what exactly are you configuring here? The developer said that the "more the mystery unfolds the more you wonder who’s really in control". Have to admit, it has me very curious this one.

At release it will have full Native Linux support, just like the previous games from Lozange Lab. Check out the reveal trailer for Game Settings below:

More details from the developer:

A mysterious package

You are Alex, a journalist for a tech website, stuck in a monotonous endless routine. Until one day everything changes: a mysterious package appears at your door. Inside: a custom console and a game cartridge. No label. No instructions. Just a gaming experience that feels unfinished... or deliberately incomplete.

Cryptic settings

There’s no combat. No score. No objectives. Only exploration, enigmatic conversations, and a menu full of cryptic settings you’re meant to adjust.

Each area you explore reacts to the changes you make in the console settings. But what do these parameters really control? And who designed this game in the first place?

A strangely abandoned experiment

What begins as curiosity slowly unravels into something a lot deeper. An abandoned system, a forgotten experiment, and surely a message left behind… or perhaps still to be written.

Uncover the history of the console and its mysterious creators. What was this system meant to do… and why was it abandoned?
