There are small screen stutters that happen. While not game breaking they can sometimes lead to getting hit when one happens at the wrong time. They don't occur that often, but you'll likely encounter one or two after an hour of playing here and there.
Near the end of the game we encountered an odd effect after visiting the backroom of the 4th hideout that made the world super dark even though it was still daylight. This only happened once during the test (We suspect the damage trigger by the green stuff on the floor in the backroom of the 4th hideout to be some how related to it being triggered). This effect did carry over into the next day and we had to save and restart the game to fix it.
In the swamp area we did notice a few bear traps being under things like roots, likely unintended (We also noticed a few the mushrooms being under things too; like logs)
In the swamp area there are trees with dark living roots that will grab you and keep you chained to them for limited time. We triggered one early when starting the area and it kept making making its "living" sound effects randomly, but wouldn't grab the play anymore.
When loading some NPC images in the chat system the screen flashes white, then returns to normal. Only seems to happen to the ones in the swamp area.
Had two crashes during our run of the game. Did not encounter anything that stopped us from finishing the game.
