Default Field Of View might be an issue

First of all, I wanted to say that I absolutely adore this game!!! I’ve spent nearly an hour designing different over-the-top pumpkins and I love the puzzles in the manor.

I tried playing this with some friends and almost all of them ended up with headaches and motion sickness, so I decided to play around with some settings to see what’s going on. I found what I think to be the problem, and it’s kind of twofold:

One, the default FOV is set to 60, which is fine if you’re across the room from your TV screen, but if you’re right in front of your monitor, that’s definitely going to cause some motion sickness.

The second was that I looked in Graphics a couple times for an FOV setting, but I only figured out later that it was in Accessibility – which I guess technically makes sense, but I would definitely consider that a graphics setting first and foremost.

Again, I absolutely love this game and I’m hoping I can convince my friends to play again with the new FOV setting, but I would suggest making the FOV setting a little more obvious, or at least changing the default to something in the 80-90 range (which is a lot easier on the eyes IMO).

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into changing the default settings. There's also some other things in the accessibility menu that may help, like the larger crosshair

Thank you so much!!! I’ll let them know about the other settings! <3

I will also say that I've gotten significantly motion sick while playing the game. I'm not sure if there are some other things to change to help with this. I know what I'm in mini ghost mode that I get motion sick faster. Maybe if there was a way to fly that made it so you controlled the Z (height) axis instead of having to press space bar to stay at roughly the same hight could help. I think also some general smoothing of the map could potentially help as I think the bumpy terrain may cause some motion sickness.
