How do I get to my dashboard from the game?

Does Tally really block trackers?
Tally uses the Disconnect tracker block list to identify trackers. When you beat a monster, Tally stops an associated tracker from connecting to their servers and collecting your data. As a multiplayer game, we have focused on the experience as well as the tracking blocking, but you should check out other excellent dedicated tracker blockers like Ghostery, Privacy Badger, or Disconnect
Will Tally still block trackers if I already have AdBlock or Privacy Badger installed?
The game will still work, though if these more established tracker blocking extensions are enabled, they will probably block them first.

Can I change game options?
To access game options, click on the small Tally icon at the top right of your browser. If you do not see it (Chromium browsers), you may need to click on the puzzle icon to "pin it".
What are the different game modes for Tally?
In the game options tab you will see various game modes:
- Full - Tally is visible and everything works normally, including notifications.
- Chill (as of version 0.4.0) - Like "Full" (all game objects, including Tally, are visible) but sounds and notifications from Tally are off unless you interact with her or a game object.
- Stealth - Like "Chill" except Tally is not visible and all sounds and notifications are disabled. Your data still contributes to your score and the game still blocks trackers you've beat.
- Disabled - Nothing is active in the game, including your score.
