The one setting I wanted to change was mouse sensitivity. I went into the options menu, changed the value to 0.6, hit apply changes and went back to the game, but the sensitivity hadn't changed. Opening the options menu up again, the slider had returned to 1. I tried this several times. I noticed the game also had screen tearing, even though the options menu said vsync was enabled by default.
I found the first terminal in the starting room, and immediately my eyes glazed over from 3 pages of text dump. I'm not into reading lore for a game unless I'm already invested in it. I skimmed it but nothing stood out to give directions on where I was supposed to go.
