Hello!
I just finished your game and it’s awesome!
I have a small proposition, I’m a translator and I’d love to start working on game localization.
Would you be interested in having me translate the demo into Polish?
You’d get an extra language option, and I’d get something cool to add to my portfolio.
Thanks a lot!

When I click left mouse button to continue from the first narrator text, the game freezes and a "Fatal error!" window pops up. I'm playing on an Intel Celeron N4500 (a very weak processor with very weak iGPU) laptop. The issue could be that my laptop is not good enough, but it's rare for weak hardware to cause errors
And yes, I did try playing with Low quality, but that didn't help
Do you have DirectX 12 installed? Make sure you do. If you do, it's probably because your processor can't handle it.
