as intriguing as the game is, it's a slideshow for me. Would be nice if there were graphics quality settings, I wouldn't mind playing on potato texture quality or with no antialiasing
Ah, so sorry to hear that! We could conceivably do a lighter release down the line. Would you mind sharing the specs of what you're playing on?
the processor is octa-core, but yeah the graphics card isn't anything special because it's a laptop. But I was able to run your other games
