Settings

== Overview ==
To access the settings menu, a player can click the seventh button on the options bar or press the L hotkey if they're on a computer. The settings menu allows a player to change and customize certain mechanics in their experience. 
The settings menu is the only button on the options bar with a computer hotkey, which is the L key. The menu allows players to have a more enjoyable (and less laggy if desired) experience. It has a lot of customization features, but it has been hinted at that even more are coming. Some of these features only have an affect on mobile, or only on computer, but all setting options will display and be interactable for any device. One must simply tap or click on the button below the settings label to disable or enable it. Sometimes the button below says something else (ex: camera/mouse for head turning method) which just allows more clarification for what the settings changes. Most of the settings options are self-explanatory, so the developers have decided not to add descriptions on what each setting does.
