Do not buy this game.

Having now played both the Playstation 4 and Steam versions of this game, I can confirm that it is impossible to play thirty minutes of this game on either platform without encountering multiple game crashing bugs. During my time with the Playstation 4 version I was able to soft lock the game two different ways before reaching the fourth area. The first was when I picked up the collectible Gem right after leaving the room where you got your first memory before the babysitter began her dialogue, the gate read it as a sequence break and caused my character to freeze in place. I could pause the game, but that was it. After that I reloaded the game and found various progression essential NPC’s began disappearing from the world before I could interact with them. There were also numerous other smaller graphical and collision glitches, as well as a several spelling and grammatical errors, that showed the complete lack of polish and quality control found all throughout this game.

The Steam version is, if anything, worse. The frame rate stuttered its way to an average 15-20 frames a second on the opening cut scene, and the game would freeze and stutter dangerously ever time it tried to load assets for the next area. While I was able to get further in the game then I did on the PS4, this time instead of soft locking the game just crashed to my desktop while I was riding an elevator in the Crystal Caves shortly after getting the Rage mask about 25 minutes in this time. Again, there were numerous smaller glitches and problems found all throughout the game. I wanted to like this game, I really did. But it is far to flawed to recommend, and the fact that the creators wish to call this a “finished” version makes me unsure if I want to laugh or cry. This game should not be released in this unpolished and unplayable condition. Several changes and fixes have been implemented from the Playstation 4 version, but if you must play this game I would recommend waiting until October when the Xbox One version of the game is due to be released. Perhaps third time will be the charm, though giving this game’s current track record, I doubt it.

That's because I couldn't find your email or message your steam page. I finally found it on your website, but I'll post this here as well. I ran the game on an Alienware Alpha ASM100-7980 Console (2.9 GHz Intel Core i7-4765T Processor, 8GB DDR3, 2TB HDD, Windows 8) You can also see the actuall footage of what happened here

We're sorry you didn't enjoy our title, could you please email us with your PC specs? The framerate at 15-20 is not normal, we've tested and many people played and nobody complaints about, only the people was playing with Windows 10... We look to hear from you, thanks,
