    • “However, visuals cannot save a game from the many problems this game has.”

  • optimization
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Ok so after a few hours of playthrough and checking out the visuals, the game and story is solid so far but during play I've encountered a few stutters and spikes during gameplay. A little more optimization should keep it steady and as I stated I'm only a few hours in, gameplay has a little jank, nothing too major. The physics are nice and work well during gameplay, I'm loving what I've played so far, just please drop an update. The game is solid, let's go indie devs!”
