Upon reopening the game, I began experiencing persistent stuttering and severe performance instability.
Steam review, 5 March 2026 · 1 hours played · 4 readers marked it helpfulThis is a wonderful and beautiful game, but throughout my playthrough the gameplay was affected by stutters that only got worse as the game went on.
Steam review, 10 February 2026 · 3 hours played · 2 readers marked it helpful
A further 3 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
