- “My only problem is during the final part of the game there were a few graphical glitches that caused textures to look corrupted and in some cases not show up at all, but this only showed up in the MV engine version (which I played because the original no longer seems to work without RPG Maker installed), which also unfortunately prevents achievements from working.”
- “A few glitches here and there (wrong dialogue displayed when interacting with objects in certain positions, fedora guy's sprite comes back to life when you talk to his ashes), but definitely worth the 99 cents.”
- “The controls are a little buggy sometimes and the enemies are oddly unbalanced depending on where you are (although you're usually given enough healing items so it's not a big deal - I went through the entire playthrough without having a single game over).”
