Crashes and freezes19 of 300 (6%)
It causes an extremely severe crash on the very first loading screen that requires a hard reboot as the whole system locks up and becomes unresponsive.
Steam review, 1 July 2024 · 6 hours played · 4 readers marked it helpful
Well, not so great since the game does not run: - Windows: crash with "aucun accélérateur 3D disponible" error message - macOS: freezes on Microids title screen Has this game been tested?

Will not launch or install14 of 300 (5%)
30% of your game time will be waiting for Kate to shuffle into place before she can trigger the proper animation, or spamming the mouse button because she won't run due to bad mapping.
Steam review, 7 June 2026 · 12 hours played · 10 readers marked it helpful
Too bad for, like, a hundred screens there are all of maybe ten hotspots that aren't doors Kate can't/won't open or the three people she can talk to who only have filler dialogue.

A further 7 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.
