stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay and a tedious save system that requires multiple steps to progress. Players find the experience frustrating and unengaging, with a lack of innovation in the map design and ineffective jump scares contributing to a disappointing overall experience.
- “The game is very slow and gets boring very quickly. It also has the same exact map from Demonologist, which is disappointing. The jump scares aren't even scary; the couple of donations are far more frightening. The game is filled with glitches. For example, if you die in the attic, you have to save your game, leave, then come back for the file, then save, then go for the gloves, then save, and lastly go get the hand-watch. After all that, you still can't burn the stuff, and you need a perfect run to finish the game, which takes the fun out of it.”
- “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable. I lost progress multiple times due to these stability issues, which is incredibly frustrating.”
- “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted my gameplay experience. The game often freezes, and I had to restart it several times just to continue playing.”
