Pre-order and Graphic Settings

I've always wanted to play Chronicles of Lancelot, but I don't like turn based combat so... I pre-ordered this game, for the first time on itchio I pre-ordered a game, because I'm a big Resident Evil fan, but I don't know how the download works. I know the game hasn't been released yet, but do we receive the pre-order content download link by email or is it a dedicated tab?

Another question: my gaming laptop is weak/modest ( I can play Cyberpunk 2077 at very low with 20-40 fps ), and I played Whispers of Labyrinth as a benchmark. I noticed that even with the settings on Very Low, Windowed, and 720p, the game is slow (20 below). I also noticed that it's not possible to disable bloom effects or wet skin. Does Boys in the Dark use the same settings?

It would be great to be able to disable these things to improve game performance on laptops.

Thank you! Waiting for the release!

Well running this game (looking back to lancelot) will be rough, because the graphics are high and performance is not the best. I think you will be able to run it on low. Further you'll receive a download link through Itch.io and you'll get a email when it is released.

thank you so much for the answer Binksgay <-- What he says + BitD levels are more optimized now since we’ve got more experience, plus the areas are smaller than in Lancelot, so the game runs a bit lighter. BSDZY :D

Hi BSDZY! I’m not sure why I can’t reply to your comment directly, so I’ll leave my response here — hope that’s okay.

We’re planning to release a demo soon. Once it’s done, we’ll upload it so you can try it and see how it runs on your device.

When the full game is released, you’ll be able to download it from your purchase page, and we’ll also send the key to the email you used for the purchase. If you want a Steam key after the Steam release, feel free to request one!


If you’re unsure whether your laptop can run it smoothly, just email us at info@gayeti.com

 so I can check and see whether there’s anything I can assist you with.

Thanks! I hope it runs well, even if not, I'll play it in the future when I got a new PC. Hugs!!!

I hope so too!

But with your current graphics card, I’m not entirely sure—it also depends on your CPU and RAM.
Feel free to let me know when you have time, and I can take a look to see if it’ll work.

Yeah, a new PC would be great! Congrats in advance, and I’m really looking forward to seeing your new setup too :3
Actually, some of our other supporters have also gotten new PCs/devices recently, which honestly surprised me—in a good way. I’m really happy for them :3
Hugs!
