Electric Highways

I dunno how, but I found this game on an old windows 7 computer when I was little and played it. Then it came to my mind, I couldn't find the game. I found the computer and the game was on there, I Installed it through steam. I'll try it later again

Still an absolute classic I revisit every now and again. The whole aesthetic works wonders and really gets you immersed in all the little worlds. Love this inspirational game :)

i was not expecting the underground segment and that segment scared the shit out of me

that was one of the best first person games I have ever played! Thanks for making this

Screen tearing and mouse sensitivity

In order set my mouse sensitivity, I edited the sensitivity line in the `settings.cfg` file.  I set mine to `2.25`, which is the same settings I use in Quake games, because the settings are relatively close.  Same for other id Tech games, or Source games like Counter Strike or Half Life.  You can also type `sensitivity 2.25` in the console, which you can access in-game by pressing the tilde "~".  The setting should be saved on exit.

In order to get rid of screen tearing I added these lines to my settings file:

in_mousesmoothing "0"

r_maxfps "60"

r_swapinterval "1"

GLVSync = 1

The most important line here is `r_swapinterval "1"`.  This is the only line that I tried that was able to remove the screen tearing.  `GLVSync = 1` or `r_maxfps "60"` both reduced the fps to below 60, but did not eliminate tearing, either apart or used together.  However, `r_swapinterval "1"` also significantly increased mouse lag, so I added `in_mousesmoothing "0"` to remove mouse smoothing and help reduce that lag.  I believe `r_maxfps "60"` also helped to reduce mouse lag, though be aware that my monitor is 60hz, if you have a higher refresh monitor you may need to use that value instead.

I don't know if `GLVSync = 1` is doing much here, but I just leave it in because it doesn't hurt.  There's also a `GLWidescreen = 1` setting, but as far as I can tell it does nothing and can be ignored.

The settings that start with r_ or in_ can be tested while the game is running through the console.  Quotes around the numbers, when typed in the console, may be unnecessary.

It might be possible to use vsync via your video card driver settings instead.

really didn't know what to expect going into this game, but i was loving it by the end. such an eerie and bizarre atmosphere. it had excellent music as well. i think an actual 30 minute timer would have been neat and added some pressure to the game. but i also think no time limit, and experiencing the game at one's own pace is just as enjoyable. great game, excellent work.

An amazing game, I played it before it was on itch and I’ll keep playing it again and again and experiencing it as I show it to friends.

It’s simple in its gameplay, and I think in the end the message ends up impossible to decipher, but that is fine as that is not the main point. The thing I love the most about the game is its feel and tone.

I think every location in this game is utterly distinct and has wormed its way into my subconscious, even when I forget about them after extended periods of time.

I think about especially the white world and the hand drawn world all the time, in the back of my head, when I see something that looks even slightly similar to it.

There’s an unconscious, liminal quality to this game that I just can’t shake off. On the whole, it’s not scary, but it manages to haunt me and unnerve me generally when I think about it.

It touches on so many things that tickle the back of my brain - vaporwave-pre-vaporwave, PC-98 games, Build engine, early 3D renders, forgotten educational video intros, etc.

Absolutely fascinating, energizing experience. Full recommend.

It is impossible to close this game if it breaks in fullscreen.

Gran juego, es hermoso, en especial por lo visual

HELP does anyone know the secret codess? i only found 4

I like'd it. Yea it's kinda slow, but is its way to express the art and the game idea. The game balances this by making short levels, and very well designed may i say. The position of windows in dead ends showing the objective, a new door that just opened or path you didn't saw.

Love how there's absolutly no interaction besides the buttons and then they give you a pipe or whatever, then i started smashing everything. A well done experience.

i really loved this!

I had no expectations going in but was immediately surprised to find that this is a Build engine title, much different than the Unity games I'm so used to seeing on itch. Then I fell in love with all the colors, the architecture, and the sounds and music especially were great - synths, but not synthwave. Just some wonderful spaces to navigate, which is my favorite type of game to play. I can't wait to see what you do next!

By the way - can I ask how you created the music for this? Is it Build's default music format or something else?

Love the title. But... Something is strange about this game. It`s not the level design, not the sound or anything like that. First: I don`t talk much about games but this... It`s, I don`t know, it`s like it slowly drives you crazy. This game is like it was made to make us to psychos. It has a pretty hypnotic feel and after time I got more and more aggressive. I think this game should be used as a weapon of the military, Mister FBI man in my PC.

Excellent stuff, very surreal. Fantastic soundtrack.

Fantastic experience- an utterly unique combination of synths and virtual worlds to explore. Full thoughts below:

Fantastic atmosphere and music w a mixture of 3D nostalgia and anxiety.
Couldn't recommend enough!

Electric Highways is supremely rad-- serene and haunting by turns; effervescing with that sweet cyberpunk magic. A priceless post-contemporary relic

Very atmospheric game. Really play with your emotion. Great Game! - Calm The Kaze
