PC Settings

Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed for PC has a few extra settings to choose from when booting up the game. These include keyboard mappings (if you're not playing with a controller), language, and graphics settings.

Keyboard mappings and language settings are straightforward. However, it's recommended to play this game with a controller and not the keyboard.

Graphics settings are critical to understand. This game was originally released as 30 FPS (frames per second) on PC. There was an update released many years later that allows PC players to change the framerate to a higher value. The FPS options you can choose from are 30, 60, 75, 120, 144, and 240. 

There's a few very important differences to note if you change the framerate:

  • At higher framerates, cut scenes play faster when using the fast forward function. This is a minor difference mostly important for speedrunners. You can get better speedrun times playing at 60 FPS than at 30 FPS because of how much faster the cut scenes are when fast forwarded.
  • At higher framerates, the controls become increasingly more sensitive. Without getting too deep into the technical details, the game was crudely converted to play at a higher framerate. For example, playing at 60 FPS makes the controls twice as sensitive than when playing at 30 FPS. To perform a grab at 60 FPS, you only have to hold an attack button down for half as long as you would at 30 FPS. Playing at 60 FPS means there's a much smaller frame window between a button press being an attack or a grab (i.e. you may accidentally grab enemies more often).  Playing at even higher framerates makes the grab frame window so tight that it becomes impossible to perform regular attacks anymore. At higher framerates it also becomes impossible to control the camera.

It's recommended to only choose 30 or 60 FPS when playing on PC. The game is essentially unplayable at anything over 60 FPS.

I personally recommend playing at 30 FPS, at least until you've become comfortable with the controls. The game is a good experience on PC at 60 FPS, but only after you've mastered the tighter timing with button presses.

Difficulty

There are four difficulty settings:

  • Easy
  • Casual
  • Gamer
  • Otaku

Easy difficulty plays a little differently than the others. In Easy, any time you damage an enemy, all their clothes take damage equally. This means you don't need to target different parts of the body. This makes it significantly easier to disrobe enemies, including bosses. Enemy attacks remain unchanged; they still only damage the piece of clothing they targeted on the player. 

In the other difficulties, each attack by the player only damages the piece of enemy clothing that was specifically targeted (i.e. high attacks only damage headwear, mid attacks only damage upper body clothing, and low attacks only damage lower body clothing).

Otaku difficulty isn't available until you've beaten the game at least once.

NG+

Each time you beat the game, you'll be allowed to create a "Clear Save" file. When you start your next playthrough, you can pick the previous playthrough's Clear Save file and bring all the weapons and clothing you had to your new game.

This makes future playthroughs much easier. It's recommended to not play the higher difficulties until you have a Clear Save file to start with better gear.
