11 The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales includes a range of accessibility features and player-friendly options, many of which were introduced or expanded in response to feedback on the 2025 Debut Demo. These settings apply across all four platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2).

33 Difficulty Settings

55 Four difficulty levels are available: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Difficulty can be changed at any adventuring guidepost during play, without penalty, so players are never locked into an initial choice.

88 On Easy, Normal, and Hard, Faie's revival cost resets each time Elliot reaches a guidepost, keeping tul costs manageable. On Very Hard, the cost escalates indefinitely, making each death increasingly expensive and resource management a meaningful part of the challenge.

1212 Each difficulty adjusts several values at once, using Normal as the baseline. The table below shows exactly what changes across the four settings. Difficulty can be changed at any adventuring guidepost, so players are free to experiment.

1515 On Easy, shop prices are halved and contact damage is removed entirely, making it a gentle introduction. On Very Hard, contact damage is high, fewer save points heal, and the revival cost never resets, so death becomes steadily more punishing across a run.

3636 The Controls group is the largest of the five: no part of the game requires rapid button mashing, simultaneous button holds, motion controls, touch input, vibration, or adaptive trigger resistance, and an alternate control layout is available. Subtitles cover the main story and main characters, and captions cover important gameplay sounds. Separately from the 21 tagged features, the PS5 version supports DualSense vibration and Remote Play.

3838 The option to lower how often Faie speaks is the game's direct answer to the frequently cited complaint about companion chatter, and handheld performance reports since launch have been mixed.
