Steam patch 1.0.9: symptoms to check
Check that your Steam copy has applied the available update, then retry the affected section. These patch notes describe the Steam release; use your console’s own update information for its build.
Keep your existing save while checking. If the same problem remains after updating, record the location, platform and steps that trigger it for the game’s support channels. Do not delete a run just because a door or panel did not respond once.
| What happens | Relevant fix |
|---|---|
| Controller will no longer sprint | Controller sprint lock |
| Entering a slide causes immediate death | Slide-related instant death |
| A Stella call leaves movement locked | Call-related control lock |
| Title-screen elements stay over the game | UI that could block progression |
| An invisible barrier remains after falling boulders | Second Bronto hunt collider |
| All four fuses fail to work | Second Allo hunt fuse handling |
| A transition loads incorrectly | Several level load/unload issues |
Where to play
The full game launched on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 29, 2026. Xbox’s launch announcement also lists Cloud and PC availability through the relevant Game Pass plans. Check the current store listing for access on your account.
This is a single-player game. A guide page or Steam store widget is not a free browser version of the full game.
PC requirements at a glance
Compare both CPU and graphics requirements before installing. Storage space alone does not tell you whether a machine meets the minimum specification.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel i5-6400 / Ryzen 3 1200 | Intel i3-10100F / Ryzen 3 3100 |
| Memory | 6 GB RAM | 12 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GTX 1050 / RX 560 | RTX 2080 / RX 6800XT |
| DirectX | 11 | 12 |
| Storage | 25 GB | 25 GB |
The demo is a separate experience
The free PC demo differs from the full release. Keep its version notes separate from a full-game walkthrough.
Demo v0.9.51 added Options → Accessibility → Hints. Switching it off reduces Jordan’s guidance and changes some environmental cues. The same demo update discussed a low lighting preset and DX11 as a possible workaround for some crashes. Those instructions belong to that demo update; for the full game, use its own settings and current patch notes.
