The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs causing items to disappear and cutscenes to glitch, often forcing players to revert to earlier saves. Users recommend saving often to avoid losing progress or getting stuck in gameplay loops.
“The game is very buggy.”
“If you don't find the stones in a certain order, the game glitches, some disappear from your inventory (even though they were there before), and you have to start over from a previous save.”
“Better save often or you might lose an item and get stuck in a loop when a cutscene glitches.”
