Bethesda has published a list of instructions that explain how The Evil Within PC players can access the game's debug console commands to unlock a bevy of neat features, such as "God Mode," infinite ammo, slow motion, and the ability to juice the game beyond 30 fps.

One important thing to remember is that using The Evil Within's debug console commands is unsupported by Bethesda. And if you run into trouble, the company's customer service team won't be able to help you out. With that caveat out of the way, you can unlock the debug console commands following these instructions:

  1. In Steam, right click on The Evil Within and select "properties" then under the General tab, hit "set launch options."
  2. Put this in to unlock the console: +com_allowconsole 1
  3. Once the game has launched, hit the Insert key to bring down the developer console.

Once you've done that, you can enter the following commands to experience The Evil Within in ways that Bethesda did not originally intend.

R_swapinterval <NUMBER>:

  • Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
  • -2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate
  • -1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
  • 0: This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60

God:

  • God mode. You are effectively invincible, and certain enemy kill moves will not be used against you (Laura, for example, will not jump on you)

Noclip:

  • Allows you to walk through walls

G_infiniteammo:

  • Unlimited ammo (provided you have at least 1 bullet when you enable this)

G_stoptime 1:

  • Stops time. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen. We’re looking to fix that in the near future.
  • Re enable time with g_stoptime 0

Toggledebugcamera:

  • Separates the camera from Sebastian so you can freely move around the

R_forceaspectratio <NUMBER>:

  • Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
  • 0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don't want bars.

Com_showFPS:

  • Turns on id's native FPS counter

Startslowmotion2:

  • Slows down time

Stopslowmotion:

  • Disables slow motion

The Evil Within launched today, October 14, for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Check back soon for GameSpot's review.
