I love "creepy cozy" games! I don't think I've ever played one with a sidekick who follows me around to help when I'm not watching. It's such a wholesome twist on the usual horror trope.
I played on my Mac, and I didn't have any issues. I'm not sure if it's due to the engine, but there is partial Xbox controller support btw. There's no E to interact equivalent, and B opens the menu, but it was a pleasant surprise. I still used mouse and keyboard, though.
