Help with Madam Koi Koi

Installing

1. On the Madam Koi Koi page, choose Download for Windows. It opens MEGA in a new tab.
2. On MEGA, choose Download and save MadamKoiKoi-Setup-1.0.0.exe (128 MB).
3. Open the file. If Windows shows a blue "Windows protected your PC" box, see the next section.
4. Read and accept the licence agreement, choose where to install (it suggests C:\Program Files\Glitch & Gloom Studios\Madam Koi Koi), and finish.
5. Start the game from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut. It opens in fullscreen; press F11 or Alt + Enter for a window.

"Windows protected your PC"

Windows SmartScreen shows this for programs it hasn't seen many times before, which includes almost every new game from a small studio. To continue, choose More info, then Run anyway.

Only do this for the installer you downloaded through the button on our website. If you got the file anywhere else, delete it.

Saves

• The game saves automatically at checkpoints. Saves on the main menu lets you continue from the last checkpoint.
• Pause with Esc to save into one of three manual slots.
• Saves and settings are stored on your PC in %APPDATA%\Madam Koi Koi. Paste that into the File Explorer address bar to open the folder.
• To back up your saves, copy that folder somewhere safe. Deleting it resets the game, including settings.

Performance

The game picks a graphics level for your PC the first time it runs. If it still stutters, try these in Settings, in order:

1. Set Graphics quality to Low or Very low. Real-time shadows switch off below Medium.
2. Lower Resolution scale to 75% or less. This makes the biggest difference on laptops.
3. Switch Display mode to windowed and pick a smaller resolution.
4. Leave Lower graphics when slow on, so the game can step down by itself mid-chase.
5. On a laptop, plug it in, and close other programs (especially browsers with many tabs).

If the picture is too dark, raise Brightness in Settings → Picture rather than your monitor's brightness.

Sound

Her footsteps tell you where she is, so sound matters more than in most games. Stereo headphones are best. If you can't hear well or play muted, turn on Subtitles for sounds: the game captions her heels and how close they are.

Uninstalling

Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps in Windows, find Madam Koi Koi, and choose Uninstall. Your saves stay in %APPDATA%\Madam Koi Koi in case you come back. Delete that folder too to remove everything.
