Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

The week is dominated by reactions to a new gameplay video: technical rough edges remain the main worry, and a freshly revealed roguelike mechanic is annoying part of the fanbase.

The jank persists, despite a new video

Stiff animations, cloned NPCs, unstable framerate: about a third of comments repeat the technical criticism already seen with the demo, while still praising the atmosphere and concept.

A concern that continues what was already said after the Steam demo earlier this year.
The roguelike mechanic surprises and divides

The confirmation of roguelike elements makes a handful of commenters uneasy, worried that randomness could hurt a game seen as narrative-driven.

« Roguelike. Oh, great. »
