The game exhibits stability issues, including occasional stuttering during scrolling, unresponsive clicks that can disrupt gameplay, and a poorly implemented mechanic for closing the eyes that may confuse players.
“The game is also a little bit buggy - sometimes scrolling gets stuttery (clicking and dragging rather than using the mouse scroll helps), sometimes you have to click on something more than once for the click to register (a bit unnerving when it happens during the timed sequence), and the part where you have to close your eyes is poorly implemented (on mobile, you would pinch your screen; here, you have to double-click somewhere in the lower right corner).”
