Return of the Obra Dinn supports a limited set of command-line options.
30fps
Attempt to force the game to run at 30 frames per second. The framerate will be lower than default (60fps) but may run smoother and feel more comfortable. This can help clear up hitches on lower-spec systems that may not be able to consistently reach 60 frames per second.
syncfps
Synchronize the game's framerate with the video display. This will attempt to run the game's logic framerate at your video display's refresh rate. One some systems this can lead to a smoother experience, and on some systems it will exhibit even more hitching or stuttering.
freefps
Remove all framerate synchronizations and restrictions. This setting can provide to the smoothest experience on powerful systems, but it is not well tested and may cause unexpected logical errors in the game.
