Steam Deck
I've not played for long, but there are already aspects that mean it isn't as good as it should be on the Steam Deck, and shouldn't (yet - because they're fixable) have Verified status.

Using the default controls, you can't use both flippers on the pinball machine at the same time. This is obviously quite limiting. Being able to control the flippers with the shoulder buttons would be much better. Similarly, you can only control the left and right of the claw machine with the buttons; activating it needs emulating a mouse click with the trackpad.

The lock combination puzzle doesn't invoke the keyboard, even though it's needed, and the on screen keyboard covers up the puzzle when invoked. Having on-screen tumbler buttons as an alternative means to enter the combination would be much better.

Changes like these would make your game playable with a controller on non-Deck PCs, too. Presumably you've already made changes like these for your Switch release.

For me doesn't work AT ALL on Steam deck. After the autosave warning it's all black.

I've tried to play this game a few times on Steam Deck and almost none of the controls work, even with Steam override enabled. It's so frustrating.

I agree that it plays very poorly on Steam Deck. I don't know what Steam's system is for determining which games are verified or not, but this game should not be. I'm installing it on my PC as I type this, but if I didn't also own a laptop, I would be refunding the game due to the poor controls on Steam Deck.

EDIT: It doesn't have Cloud save enabled so I can't transfer my save to PC to play with proper controls. I'm annoyed.

Hello from the far off world of 2025. The game has worked pretty well on the deck for me, but I'm running into this issue randomly after clicking some prompts, that makes the default system arrow cursor start flashing inside the game's black crown cursor. This also tanks the fps for as long as it's happening.

Tried windowed and full screen but same issue. Sadly gonna have to put it down on the deck for now.
