Demo Localization
The Nyras Prologue Demo ships in fewer languages than the full game. The PC demo localizes audio and text in five languages (English, German, Polish, Russian, and Japanese). The full release adds the remaining five. Players running the demo in a language not on that short list will see the interface fall back to English.
Accessibility Options
- Combo timing skip. A toggle that loosens or removes the strict timing requirement on Combat System combos. With the option on, the manual button-press cadence required to chain a Trained or Skilled combo is relaxed, so attacks chain more forgivingly. The cadence-based progression is preserved with the option off.
- Quest tracker panel. An optional on-screen quest panel that surfaces the active objective without imposing waypoints on the world. The base navigation model remains landmark-based; the panel is a reading aid rather than a route line.
- Glossary. A built-in glossary of in-world terms (camps, mages, ore, runes, scrolls, faction roles) accessible from the menu, so unfamiliar terminology is searchable without leaving the game.
- Subtitle and font scaling. Subtitles and dialogue text scale independently of the rest of the HUD. Speaker tags are on by default.
- Lock-on camera. The melee lock-on can be toggled or held depending on player preference, with separate controls for left-stick lock direction.
Other Notes
- Hand-holding off by default. The interface is deliberately minimal at the default setting. Map markers are off, GPS routes are off, and quest objectives describe outcomes rather than steps. The accessibility toggles above add support without removing the landmark-driven navigation core.
- Read-and-react combat. The combat model rewards reading enemy telegraphs over reflex inputs, so a player using the combo-skip toggle can still progress through the harder fights. See Combat System for the full breakdown.
- Single-player. Gothic 1 Remake is a single-player experience with no online multiplayer mode. Cloud saves and achievement tracking are handled per platform.
