Multiplayer and co-op

Steam Deck and Switch 2 performance

Valve rates the game Verified, and the developer says testers "played hundreds of hours on their Decks". Official Launch-week player reports are mixed: Players

• Some players report steady play with rare drops, at least up to the Tower of Knowledge.
• Others report frame drops, stutter and loud fans after the opening area, and worse performance than in the demo. Capping the frame rate at 60 and adjusting TDP helped one player.
• Several Switch 2 owners mention long load times after a death.

PC system requirements

Languages: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese. Official Ultrawide: players have asked for 21:9 support on the forums; we haven't confirmed whether the full game supports it. Players Engine: the developer hasn't named one in its Steam posts. A demo crash report on the forums showed an Unreal Engine 4 error. Players

The free demo

• Free on Steam since December 4, 2025, covering "the first hour or so of the game". It was also part of Steam Next Fest in October 2026. Official Official Official
• Demo saves don't carry over. The opening area was reworked for the full game, with changed enemy placement and secrets, and stone doors now open with throwing daggers. Players
