Debug Menu

This is a sub-page of Shadow Man (Windows).

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: A lot of these don't seem to work properly or have effects that are not immediately obvious. (Could also be an issue with running the game on a newer OS?)
