The gameplay features unconventional mechanics, particularly highlighted by the throwing mechanics associated with the Trotsky portrait, which can lead to frustrating experiences when attempting to interact with objects like the cauldron.
“I would also quickly like to bring up the weird throwing mechanics of the Trotsky portrait, which I noticed while trying to put this character in the cauldron with coal.”

Users express a desire for a more immersive emotional experience by suggesting that the game should halt the camera movement when it collides with a wall, rather than fading to black. This change could enhance the player's emotional connection to the environment by maintaining visual continuity.
