Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/09/2026

This week in the comments

A week dominated by a wave of hostile reactions focused on the game's occult themes and technical shortcomings, with a tone far more inflammatory than constructive.

Backlash over the "witch" theme on religious and culture-war grounds

A large share of comments call the game "satanic propaganda" or accuse it of "glorifying witchcraft," with some even justifying historical witch hunts.

« There is a spiritual war on, and that is becoming clearer and clearer by the day. »

Complaints about combat and bugs

Several commenters call the combat rudimentary ("swinging a stick") and report bugs, a theme already present in earlier periods.

Criticism of the raw gameplay echoes complaints already voiced in earlier tracking periods.
« You're supposed to play as a witch but the best the developers could do for combat is have her swing a big stick, absolutely pathetic. »
