Known issues
Hi everyone, I hope you're excited about the release as we are!

Due to some time constraints we weren't able to smooth out every last kink before release, but please rest assured that we're hard at work on fixing things in the coming days.

Here's a list of issues we're aware of and working on:
  • Text boxes in some languages (German and others) are cut off at times
  • The Linux build might not be compatible with distributions older than 2 years
  • The window is missing its icon
  • The language selection screen doesn't remember your choice over multiple sessions
  • Switching language requires one map transfer (teleport) for the new dialogues to be loaded in
  • Save states made in one language will continue to have dialogues in that language until the player moves to a different map
  • On certain Windows setups, audio does not work at all
I hope you all still have a wonderful time with the game regardless :)

Edit: Since people have been asking about the "The Mirror Lied" song from the soundtrack sounding different, here is a more accurate rendition for download[www.dropbox.com].

Is the game supposed to be locked at 40fps?

How about a GOG release? I hope there will be soon.

Unfortunately yes. There is a way to force a different frame rate, but it would most likely mess with cut scene timings and impact your enjoyment of the game.
This will be both an issue report as well as a collection of hints of how to solve the same issue.

The issue is described by these two pictures:

You want the game to look like it does on the right, but instead it looks like it does on the left. You want to see clean sharp pixels, but instead you get a smeared out mess.

Solutions that work:
1. Press <Alt>+<Enter>, then zoom in with <Win>+<+/->. If you get an incorrect result disable smoothing in the magnifier options.
2. Press <Alt>+<Enter>, then use the "Lossless Scaling" app on Steam in "integer scale type" mode. It costs a few dollars but it is much more convenient to use than the magnifier and also automatically adds black background.

A solution that doesn't currently work with this game, but maybe the devs can make it work if only they wanted to:
Some of the newest GPUs have the "integer scaling" option built into their driver options. But it doesn't work with this game, because this game incorrectly upscales the picture by itself instead of trying to switch the monitor resolution to 640x480. If it did this even more convenient method would work as well.

EDIT: The program fullscreenizer did the trick :D

Hi, I'd like to know if there's any known issue about the full screen mode:
switching the game from windowed mode (even full stretched) to full screen causes the game to get capped at 12 fps instead of the 40 ones...
This thing happens to me in 1080p, 1440p and 2160p.
Thank you for your time
Greetings :tabbycat:


I guess I'm gonna play it windowed mode full stretched (it's really still enjoyable)

Another problem:
At the beginning of the game I ran into rice bot and my game crashed.

I didn't get the achievement the first time but replaying the final part (before the credits) unlocked the achievement (during credits).

Just FYI, I'm having the same issue someone else mentioned - if I use fullscreen fps goes down to 17-18 and everything is super laggy. Playing windowed is fine. I haven't bothered using any external programs to correct, as I don't mind playing windowed.

I would like you guy to add, in-game volume: BGM and SE. Because the BGM volume is pretty loud.

We discussed it in the other topic, just in case if somebody missed it out for not double reporting the case.
The game is not started with win 7 x32 due to reported incompability with this system by steam

I didn't get the achievement but it may be because I'm on alternative, aside from that great game.
