Hello everyone, We have put up a new default branch of the game. The main fix in this branch is the ability to tinker with graphical options. These options can be accessed from here: 1. Start new game or load save data. 2. Press Esc Key to open sub menu 3. Choose Graphics Settings. Here you will be able to change: Shadow Setting Draw Quality Setting Background Setting As I mentioned in my previous post I was able to double the FPS performance by lowering these settings, so those of you with FPS issues please give this a try. We are still working very hard to make this game more optimized for PC so hang on tight for more updates. Thank you. Prinny Toshi

Hello everyone, We made an announcement about a week ago (8 days to be exact) saying we added keyboard key configuration options. What I (Prinny Toshi) overlooked was that, by following the steps below there are additional graphics options not in the options menu. 1. Start new game or load save data. 2. Press Esc Key to open sub menu 3. Choose Graphics Settings. In this menu you are able to change these settings. Shadow Setting Draw Quality Setting Background Setting Personally I was able to DOUBLE my FPS from around 20~30 to 50~60. We are still working very hard to make this game more optimized for PC so hang on tight for more updates. Thank you... dood. Prinny Toshi

The Improvement to the Controls, Graphics, and Overall Playability of the game. Thank you all for either playing or being interested in the game Birthdays the Beginning. We garnered tons of attention by releasing this game on PC at the same time as console (PS4) but we at NISA feel that we let many people down. We have received tons of feedback regarding Birthdays the Beginning and we feel the 2 reasons below are the biggest issues with this game so far. 1. The controls of the game are not optimized for PC 2. The graphical aspect of the game is not optimized for PC. Currently we are in very close contact with the developers in order to fix these issues but at this very moment we cannot guarantee a date these issues will be fixed, but we will do our best to resolve the issue. That being said, once we know an exact date we will definitely announce it here. For further details, see our Discussions post, which has specific instructions on a temporary fix for Radeon and Nvidia graphics cards: http://steamcommunity.com/app/525700/discussions/0/2741975115067646379/
