This guide lists all 77 accessible console commands, and shares some tips and tricks for using them.

Just think, WWCD? (what would Cthulhu do?)

ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn

Basics

Hit ~ to open the developer’s console. Type a command and hit enter to execute it.

Commands can be tab completed, e.g. type add and then hit tab, which will cycle through the commands that begin with add.

Hitting the up arrow will fill the console with the last used command. Useful, for example, when using add_level multiple times.

Always save before using a command.

BEWARE

These commands mess with various aspects of the game state and may sequence break, corrupt your file, or prevent you from progressing. They might even summon Cthulhu into your mom’s basement. Use at your own risk.

Some parts of this guide may spoil parts of the game. Some commands, e.g. fill_weapons may spoil parts of the game.

[soapbox]

I would highly recommend playing through the game once or twice without using these commands. Squeezing through to an ending when you are underpowered and confused is a Lovecraftian gaming experience quite unlike any other.

Cheaters’ Paradise

The following commands are relatively safe (in my personal experience; I’ve played 4 playthroughs using these commands quite liberally with no problems), and quite useful for creating a powerful team.

add_cigs, add_item, charactereditor, fill_consumables, fill_spells, fill_weapons, rest

add_cigs – adds a number of cigs to player’s inventory (max 499, e.g. add_cigs 499)

add_item <item> x – adds a number of specified item to player’s inventory, e.g. add_item bandages 10

charactereditor – calls up the Character Editor interface, which allows nigh infinite point allocation to both attributes and skills (I was able to click physique up above 1000 with no issues), for both the player character and their companions.

The one thing to be aware of is that if the player character (pc)’s skills are all 10+ and then they level up, it won’t be possible to allocate skill points and the game will softlock. If the pc reaches such a state, use charactereditor again to reduce one or more of their class skills.

It’s possible to get comical levels of reaction and AP and trivialize all combat.

fill_consumables – adds 1 of each consumable to player’s inventory

fill_spells – adds all spells to player’s grimoire

fill_weapons – adds 1 of each weapon to player’s inventory

rest – rest anywhere, without need for camping supplies. Cannot be used during combat

Known Commands

These are commands I’ve tested and am relatively sure of their effects. Again, be aware that many of these may manipulate your game into an unprogressible state.

add_angst_level – adds enough Angst to reach the next Angst level

add_cigs – use like add_cigs x, where x is a number from 1-499

add_item – use like add_item <item>, or add_item <item> x, where x is a positive number. e.g. add_item lockpicks 50 will add 50 lockpicks to your inventory

add_level – gives the pc enough experience to reach the next level

autosave_off – disables autosave

autosave_on – enables autosave

charactereditor – opens window allowing attribute and skill level modification for player character as well as companions

clear_pc_inv_equipment – removes everything from the pc except cigs, rations, and some skivvies

craft_add_items – adds blueprints for craftable items, as well as necessary components

exportlog – exports a folder with a variety of debugging information (showed up on my desktop)

factions – prints out the players status with each faction

fadeIn – fades the screen back after using fadeOut

fadeOut – fades the screen to black

fhtagn – toggle Debug Mode

fill_weapons – adds 1 of each weapon to player’s inventory

heal_madness – heals any madness state and removes madness (e.g. get rid of Schizophrenia)

kill_billy – instakills poor Billy Crumb, as long as the player is in the same map as him, whether or not he is a henchman.

profiler – toggles profiler display. Profiler includes FPS readout, monitor response time, and RAM

rest – rest anywhere, without need for camping supplies. Cannot be used during combat
