- “It's also pretty much entirely silent during the game; there's very little audio, and no music or anything to try and spice up the dull gameplay.”
- “Taking a photo is only possible when the crosshair appears (the description of the gameplay in the settings menu wrongly states 'crossheir' - there is not much text available; I don't like when developers skip proofreading), but it is not explained that the right mouse button will need to be pressed for this.”
