Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a Steam Altergift title, ensure your Steam client is updated to the latest version before redeeming your key. The game supports standard mouse and keyboard controls, though some players may prefer a controller for smoother movement.

Periodically check for game updates to benefit from performance improvements and new decorative items.
