(Resolved) Significant bug making game near unplayable.
While I was configuring graphics settings, I set game quality to 'Fastest' (ie the lowest setting), and that set the graphics so low that text became blurred boxes rather than actual letters. However, it seems to be stuck at that setting. I've pushed everything back to maximum and it's still very much a blurry, unreadable mess. Resetting the game didn't work either.

Seeing as the game is decades old at this point, I doubt the developer will see this, But if you're looking through the forum before starting the game, don't lower the graphic settings, and if you're here because you've already done it and you're looking for a solution, welcome to the blurry brothers gang.

Weird that it wouldn't change back.

As with other Unity engine games, settings are saved in the Windows System Registry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ludosity Interactive\Bob Came in Pieces

Use the Windows Search feature to find and run "Registry Editor".
To reset all settings, delete the "Bob Came in Pieces" folder.
Or just change the "Quality" parameter to one of the six possible settings:
Fastest / Fast / Simple / Good / Beautiful / Fantastic

If it stays blurry, it might be worth checking the default settings for your graphics card.
I recall a different game (different engine) that would go excessively pixelated if "Mipmap Detail Level" was set to minimum in "3D Settings".

Yep, clearing the folder in the registry did fix it, so I went back in and immediately set graphics back to Fastest and the same thing happened. Seems reproducible.

Here's what it was looking like, and what the registry settings were set to before I cleared them. Maybe you're able to glean something out of it.

Thanks for the fix, I'm sure some others will get use out of it as well.

I was able to replicate the blurry text bug.
It occurs when the Screen resolution is 1440 pixels high or more, and after changing the Graphics setting to (or from) "fastest".
It can be fixed in-game by lowering the resolution to below 1440 pixels high, then changing the Graphics setting to (or from) "fastest" again.
The resolution can then be increased without causing the bug.
