Known Bugs:

  • Sound is not turned off when turning sound off in the options menu.

  • Display options menu requires clicking twice to activate/deactivate the first time.

  • Display changes revert back to default on any level load.

  • If the player is looking straight up, the screen goes black.

Known Issues:

  • The exe file is not signed, so Microsoft and antivirus software do not like it.

(Your Windows PC should have it already installed unless Microsoft Edge was uninstalled, or never installed.)
