Horror you can feel
The developers advertise adaptive triggers that mimic the feel of firearms and haptic feedback for the heavy footsteps of approaching creatures. The intention is to keep the player focused on an encounter, including when a threat is out of sight. This wiki has not independently tested those controller effects.

McKellan’s July interview describes motion controls for fine aiming, map manipulation and tilting the CRTV during puzzles. The current PS5 Store accessibility list says the game is playable without motion controls, touch controls, vibration or adaptive-trigger effects, and offers basic controller remapping. Exact alternative bindings have not been tested by Kingy.

Listen beyond the screen
McKellan explains that first person restricts the player’s visual field, making sound more important. He says the team deliberately creates situations that require attention to subtle noises and audio cues from unseen threats. That describes the intended role of sound, not a tested headset recommendation or mix-quality assessment.

Preview technical claims, clearly labeled
Hornshaw’s July preview reports a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, a 30 FPS Quality setting and a 60 FPS Performance setting. These are attributed preview claims rather than this wiki’s measurements. A named mode or target does not establish a locked frame rate in every scene of the final release.

The same report describes PS5 Pro enhancement, upgraded PSSR and ray tracing. It does not provide this wiki with a controlled comparison across base PS5, PS5 Pro and PC. We therefore keep those advertised or reported features separate from unconfirmed claims about equivalent settings or guaranteed image quality.
