Instructions
1. Download cheat engine https://www.cheatengine.org/
2. Download the file 1.0_1.1_FinchGame.7z at this link http://www.wsgf.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=170381#p170381
3. Unzip it with 7zip or WINrar
4. Save FinchGame 1.1 to somewhere convenient
5. Start the game
6. Alt-tab
7. Open FinchGame 1.1
8. click File then Open Process
9. Select FinchGame.exe and press Open
10. Click Yes
11. Right click on v.1.1_FOV -> Change values -> Address


12. Type a number then press enter

The default FOV value is 0.008726646192. It seems to me like the three digits after 0.0 are roughly equivalent to the degrees of horizontal FOV. For example:
0.0090 = 90°
0.0120 = 120°
If the fov doesnt seem right, mess around with it a bit

Note: After you put in the fov, it will round it to a number with the same number of digits as the default. This is normal.

13. Go back to the game

Note: You need to do this every time you play the game

Also, this will make the menu look smaller, and makes one particular moment when the screen is supposed to go black not actually cover the whole screen. The rest of the game looks completely fine though.

Reducing mouse sensitivity helped me out with the motion sickness

idk if other games have the same code structure, you'll probably need different solutions for different games, though Cheat Engine will probably be helpful for quite a few of em

I was worried about motion sickness but really wanted to play this game. Thanks for the fix! I assume this will also work with other games? I bought Maze awhile back but had to shelve it due to nausea.:steamhappy:

it's a single player game? though i think some multiplayer games with rlly strict anticheat might be annoyed that you just have it installed so maybe uninstall once you're done with edith finch

Oh my God thank you. I'm only 30 minutes in and I've had to take 4 breaks so my stomach stops churning. Beautiful game but I get motion sickness really easily.

How does that guy play on PC and not know what FOV is lol what the hell

thank you so much for this guide, the default FOV is making me sick pretty much instantly.
Absolutely unforgivable that devs don't implement a FOV slider in 1st person games (or at least choose a decent default FOV value like 90 or so)
