The Developer Console appears as a black drop-down menu with neon green borders, covering the upper half of the screen. A small text field at the bottom allows players to enter commands, while a larger field can be seen at the top showing previously entered commands.
The Developer Console is extremely similar to that found in most other modern games, and can be accessed by pressing the tilde [~] key, located above [TAB].
Currently, using console commands does not prevent you from unlocking achievements.
NOTE: Commands are disabled in Speedrun and Co-op/Multiplayer modes (excluding the host). In Speedrun mode (singleplayer), the command "EnableCheats" will enable "fly" and "ghost", but not "KillNearestMess" or "KillNearestNonMess".
