- “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls (the controls are there, they just don't work), so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
- “The game is lacking pretty much any basic features, like a proper settings menu (only has music and SFX settings), it has an auto save that doesn't work with no manual saving, so you can't get back to your current game, no HUD besides the coin pouch (no HP/stamina bar for either you or the NPCs), no feedback on damage taken from you/enemies/NPCs, no information on how to achieve the goal and how to survive; there's just nothing.”
