Messed up original brightness settings (Those Who Remain)

In the initial game set up, there was a brightness slider and I clearly went too dark! I've tried adjusting the in-game brightness and it's not helping much. Is there a way to reset this?

Hi @justShadowJam 

Just started the game to check but it should be possible in the main menu.

Go to Options --> Video --> Rendering --> Brightness slider. :slightly_smiling_face:

I've already done the 'in-game' brightness. It's as high as it will go and it's still not helping.

The Initial load gives a test screen to 'adjust the brightness until you can barely see the creature' and I took those instructions way too literally. So, I am looking for a way to reset that feature to not be 'near black'.

Hey justShadowJam,

I assume that you play on your Chromecast and encounter the described issues. I experienced that once myself but with another game (Chorus).

My solution was to start the game on my smartphone and had the settings done right there. Immediately after that procedure I was able to play Chorus on my CCU as it was meant.

Could you try this and report back if it worked for you, too.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. 

Unfortunately, starting the game on my phone did not give me the option to choose the initial brightness settings again. However, I was mid-story and did not want to lose my progress by trying 'new game'. FWIW, I tried it on my chromebook too. Neither gave me the option to fix the issue.

They really need to allow us the option to uninstall/reset original games.

I have the *exact* issue with the exact replication steps. Game is now unplayable, and I'm five minutes into it. Infuriating.

Stadia needs to give us a way to reset games. :unamused_face:

Sorry for the late answer,

I tried to replicate the issue and my picture is quite dark as well.

What helped to a certain extend is playing with the gamma slider in the video options.
This is not my preferred way to tackle brightness problems in games but might be a quick solution.

Maybe you can find a gamma value that suits your devices.

Yeah... I've tried that too. It helps with the visibility sometimes, but it also washes out a lot of things too. 

Thank you so much, though. I very much appreciate the effort :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
