Prologue: Go Wayback is far from a typical survival game. It stands out with extreme weather conditions and a unique twist on the classic survival loop. Before embarking on your journey through its randomly generated maps, it`s crucial to optimize your PC settings. Video settings, in particular, require careful tuning, as performance can be inconsistent without high-end hardware. However, audio and control settings can also be customized to suit your personal preferences. Below is a comprehensive guide to our recommended settings.

We made a few minor adjustments to the default keybinds, though nothing too drastic. The default controls are intuitive enough if you prefer to use them immediately. However, if you have preferred key combinations, feel free to use those. At the bottom of the Controls menu, you`ll find options for Camera Sensitivity and Camera FOV. We slightly reduced camera sensitivity from the default and increased FOV to 120 for a more immersive view. These values can be further adjusted based on your mouse DPI or personal field of view preferences.
