“Clunky interaction mechanics and tons of bugs. Had to restart the game due to a bug which got me stuck in a certain area. Nice experience but ruined by bugs, I recommend for the experience, but to wait for a big discount.”Not recommended · Steam review · Jul 2025 · 8 h played · Report / request removal
