PC control prompts displayed in the basement

Select the item in your hotbar, then press G when G DROP appears. The Yellow Key displays this prompt when selected.

Set Graphics to Low

  1. Press P to open SETTINGS.
  2. Open GRAPHICS and select LOW.

In the lobby, you can also open SETTINGS from the left side of the screen. Low graphics can help a slower device load and reduce lag. Gray or blurry walls may still be loading.

Spectate or Return to the Lobby After Escaping

On the spectator screen, use the arrows beside the current viewing target to switch whom you watch. To leave the round:

  1. Select LOBBY.
  2. Choose LEAVE in the confirmation dialog.

Other players can continue their round, but you cannot return to that same round after leaving.
