The game exhibits notable stability issues, with players encountering bugs related to environmental interactions, such as inconsistent lighting mechanics and glitches with objects like walls and candles. These problems detract from the overall experience and suggest a need for further refinement.
“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?”
