Internal Character Name#

The internal codename for the player character is Sein, while the floating orb is named Ori.

Hidden Developer Message#

There is a hard-to-notice message carved on one of the trees in Thornfelt Swamp: A♥S. This is a reference to Arie (one of the game programmers) and Sasha (his girlfriend).

Hidden Commands#

Pressing Alt+U will hide the game HUD showing Ori's health/energy.

Pressing Left, Up, Right, Down, Up, Up, Up, Space (jump) will change Ori to a random color.

Pressing Up, Right, Down, Left, 8, Up, Up, Space (jump) will teleport Ori to a placeholder position on the current map.

Debug Menu#

The game checks for the file C:\temp\moonDebugPC.txt on startup. If the file exists, pressing the 8 key (or R3 on an Xbox controller) will open a debug menu. This menu has several features such as maxing out Ori's stats, saving and loading at any time, use of the game's abilities and enable debug text.

Debug Controls#

Enabling Debug Controls enables extra functionality:

  • LB: Fast forward the game by 3x
  • RB: Activates a cursor to teleport Ori to anywhere ignoring collision
  • RB on world map menu: Show/hide undiscovered areas on the map
  • LT (Charge Jump) + Y (Bash) + B (Soul Link): Exit game
