What the Buck settings and accessibility

What the Buck settings that players ask about most are in OPTIONS > Accessibility: Readable Font for a clear non-pixel font, Camera Follow to stop the screen drifting, Screen Shake, and Colorblind mode. confirmed The CRT filter that makes the screen look soft is in the Graphics tab, and windowed mode is one key press away. confirmed

Readable Font

Added in patch 1.0.1 for the full game and the demo: OPTIONS > Accessibility > Readable Font. With it on, all text uses a clear, non-pixel font in every language, at the same size and in the same place on screen. confirmed The developer added it after a player wrote that the pixel font hurt their eyes. confirmed

If the text looks blurry rather than hard to read, see the CRT section below.

Camera Follow and Screen Shake

The camera drifts toward the edge your cursor is near. To stop it: OPTIONS > Accessibility > Camera Follow > OFF; the camera then stays still. Screen Shake is on the same page. confirmed Both arrived with the Next Fest update in October. confirmed A pre-release recording also shows a Flash Brightness setting next to Screen Shake for the bright flashes from lightning and explosions. confirmed

CRT filter and blurry pixels

The old-monitor effect adds a light blur and coloured edges. Turn it off at OPTIONS > Graphics > CRT Shader > OFF. confirmed If your screen is not 1920×1080 or 3840×2160, also turn on Crisp Pixels in the same tab: the image then scales only by whole numbers so every pixel is the same size, which can add black bars at the edges. confirmed

What the Buck colorblind mode

Since 1.0.1 Colorblind mode (OPTIONS > Accessibility) swaps colours instead of filtering the whole screen. Prices you can afford are gold, prices you cannot afford are grey blue, and the End Shift price uses the same colours. You also keep the CRT effect in colorblind mode now. confirmed

Windowed mode

The game starts in fullscreen. F11 or Alt+Enter switches to a window, or use OPTIONS > Visuals > Window Mode > Windowed. The window opens maximised; on Linux window managers such as OpenBox, un-maximise it first if it will not resize by its edges. confirmed

Mr. Buck’s phone calls

A click, Space or Enter shows the whole line at once. The voice sounds play on the SFX volume (OPTIONS > Sound > SFX). There is no separate option for instant text or for the voice yet; the developer has noted both requests. confirmed

What the Buck controller support

The game has full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense, and can also be played mouse-only or touch-only. confirmed Since 25 October the game ignores sim-racing pedals, throttles and flight sticks that rest off-centre: a stick or pedal only moves the pointer after it has rested in the middle once. confirmed If your cursor still sticks to a corner, see troubleshooting.

Other accessibility features

The Steam page lists adjustable text size, camera comfort options, colour alternatives, custom volume controls, mouse-only and touch-only options, no timed input and save anytime. confirmed The game also runs at your own pace: nothing fails if you leave it.
