The lore and writing/translation is interesting and solid. The art is quirky but suitably gloomy.

Unfortunately on Steam Deck, there's a spot where you right a large robot, where the game slowed, dropping frames, which was fine, but then I got frozen in place, even though animation of the robot continues.

When the game slows like that, it also becomes impossible to ascend stairs, as the animation just shutters from left to right. So I missed one optional area. No big deal for me there, but possibly a problem for achievements.

Mysteriously on the fourth try against the robot it didn't glitch there. So I progressed through some interesting stuff (avoiding spoilers too much) , and I defeated a large monster, and was supposed to choose from spooky words. The words are sometimes next to each other so closely that it glitches and doesn't show them, vibrating the cursor. In one case I was already selecting one for several moments when a second appeared next to it causing me to select the new one. One instance had both sayings overlapping the same place, preventing me from reading either or choosing the bottom one.

After 6 full retries, I gave up. Another Let's Play shows this problem on PC as well. It was kind of interesting to try to choose the correct words, but having even more random chance of failure because of a glitch was too frustrating.

Happy to change my review if this last glitch is fixed.
