Difficulty

Lore
While this game is a story based game, it can often be seen as vague as the lore is hidden which requires certain events in order to unlock it. Ontop of this this game is the first of it's serie and therefore the lore is not fully written in this game which means that there is no real ending in this game.

OS/Controllers/System Requirement
This game is built for windows and works well for both 32 and 64 bit. As it was built for pc it only accepts keyboard and mouse as controllers, if the request for other controllers is high this may change. Due to being an indie developer with very low budget the amount of hardware i can access for now is very limited. This means that all system requirement i've written are based on the hardware i pocess and not the actual hardware required to play this game. As such these system requirements may lower in the future.

(Note again that so far this game does not support any other OS than windows).

Language
This game only supports English language.

These ratings are based on common sense and are NOT legally legal, and as stated before, I'm NOT responsible for any damage this game may cause.

Game Quality
Finally its worth noting that this game is made from a developer while learning, meaning that graphics aswell as code may not be seen as very proffesional, which can cause glitches aswell as potentional game abuse like walljumping etc, ontop of that due to lacking experience in coding steamworks sdk is not supported. Therefore this game does not support cloud saves or achivements etc. Changes to the game will happen due to this. In case you're intrested in the story and what the game is more about please read the short description written besides the trailer.
