IMOQ Desktop

Default desktop from start of game

The desktop environment serves as one of the main settings in the Games Tetralogy. The desktop is the first thing players see whenever starting the game or or loading a save file, even if they last saved at the Save Shop in the Root Towns. The desktop is designed to use the in-fiction ALTIMIT operating system. Before logging into The World, players can use a number of applications to further explore the lore of the series and customize the desktop to their preferences.
