-Version on disc: 1.00.000
-Languages on disc: English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Spanish (Standard), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil)
-Accessibility settings: Single action button, hold to complete button mash, disable QTE timeout, disable QTE combat timer, dyslexia font, subtitle size and background, choice and sub-choice text size
-Played both the Theatrical Cut and the Curator's Cut.
-Stuttering in Quality Mode, including during the Stay Calm sequences, making them more difficult. This does not occur in Performance Mode, so this is the recommended mode.
-Some of the videos in the collectibles do not display subtitles.
-Brief camera shake during a transition cutscene in Scene 3
-In Jamie's room, two chapsticks appear under the bed instead of one.
-rare camera glitch allowing the player to see behind walls in the hotel reception
-The singing puppets would occasionally despawn and respawn when moving the camera around.
-Mark's camera animation was very glitchy, either being invisible or its shape staying behind Mark. Its gameplay function was unaffected.
-In Theatrical Cut, encountered a bug in which Charlie no longer shows up after the fire trap scene, except when choosing whether the team should trust him or not. He isn't mentioned at all by the other characters as being dead. Unable to confirm the frequency of this or whether it affects the "Happy Ending" trophy, but it makes some collectibles unavailable. This did not occur in the Curator's Cut, but encountered a different bug there, where the Stay Calm QTE in the Curing factory failed automatically, resulting in Charlie's death.
-When playing as Kate in the maze in the Curator's Cut, a conversation between her and Jamie resulted in an increase of Kate's relationship with Erin, who had been killed in an earlier chapter. When checking the details in the relationship menu for this increase, the entry was blank.
-In the first run, the number of oblons was displayed incorrectly in-game after exiting to the main menu and unlocking some dioramas. This did not impact the ability to use the oblons. Did not encounter this on the second run.
-Across both runs, encountered two instances of characters getting stuck in front of interactable objects, which required a checkpoint reload.
-During the Bloodtrail scene, Jamie's head got contorted.
-Once, after inspecting a premonition in the Scouting scene, the screen became stuck, requiring a checkpoint reload.
-Very rare glitch in which audio was muted for a few dialogue lines, but subtitles kept working.
-There are reports online of severe game-breaking bugs in the Shared Story mode, but this was not tested since it is online-only.
