In Monolith Bay, MC's phone menu acts like the game menu as well. To open it, press P or Escape.
Through this menu, the player is able to view the map (which is also accessible with the M key in-game), consult the inventory, view or send chat messages to non-playable characters, view the status of their relationship (bonds), access the camera, view active quests (tasks), see their current stats, and access game settings (player appearance and details about the non-playable characters' look as described below). There is also a settings menu in which you can alter the resolution, language, graphics settings, controls and sound.
Character options
It is possible to choose between stylished (Western anime style) looks for the main story girls for a more human-like look.
You can also decide if the characters should feature pubic hair or not, and if it should be random or by character design. Character appearance can be changed more extensively in the Character Creator.
You are partly able to decide the player characters looks, although currently you are limited to hair style and hair color.
You can change how the story characters look through the customizer, which is accessible from the game menu. This way, you'll be able to play a game with the character style that best matches your favorite body types.
For example, this is an edited version of Coira for a bustier look:
You can check our character sharing site for lots of modified and original characters. The above variant of Coira is there, too.
Language settings and translation
The game is developed in English.
Available languages are Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese simplified, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese. Currently, the displayed languages are automatically translated using various services but a team of volunteers are quality checking the translations and manually correcting bad translations.
If you wish to contribute, please go to the translation server and sign up. We usually approve requests within a day.
Dialogue skipping
It's possible to skip a dialog when it is underway. All you have to do is press Escape, and then hit the middle button named "fast forward dialogue". The game will play a fast forward animation and stop right after the dialogue, or when you need choose a response. Very practical when you're replaying a scene. During a dialogue, it is not possible to enter the phone menu.
Cheats
Monolith Bay features cheats if you're a Patreon supporter, member, elite member or VIP. The higher membership you have, the more cheats you are entitled to. New cheat codes are mailed out at each release (monthly). The cheats are accessible from the phone menu (default: P or Esc) when the game is active.
