The game exhibits significant stability issues, particularly with bugs related to walls and interactive objects. Players have reported inconsistent behavior with lighting mechanics, such as candles that sometimes disappear or transform unexpectedly, indicating a need for further polish and bug fixes.
“It's kind of buggy with the walls and blocking objects. I wanted to turn off the lights in 'the shelter,' but it seems I just broke the glass and the candle is still lit. Sometimes it has no candle, and sometimes it turns into a golden kind of electric lamp... what is this, guys?”
