  • Clicking on an interactable object forces you to walk to it, but holding down Shift allows you to run, which will save you quite a bit of time.
  • If you want the tank controls achievement, you have to switch the control scheme before you start the game.

Bugs

  • In the original (even with the official patch), if you speak to Domino in Year 1, you won't be able to speak to him in Year 3. You can work around this by saving before speaking to him in Year 1, talking to him, then loading the save. This way you can hear the dialogue in-game, but then reverting the in-game action, thus avoiding the glitch.
  • The remastered PC version (which was last updated in 2015) has the following major glitches, so you should manually save often. These are fixed in the Nintendo Switch v1.0.4 version, except for the crane softlock. It's not clear if they are fixed on other platforms.
    • Autosave sometimes fails after a few hours
    • Softlock if you have an item equipped when you go to use the crane.
    • Sometimes you can't grab Chepito when underwater and may have to restart the game
    • Demon Beavers sometimes freeze in place don't take any bait. Best remedy for that is to reload from a previous area and go really slow with that puzzle.
    • Softlock during boat escape
    • The game will sometimes crash during a loading screen, which has to do with specific drivers on your computer, usually in-between long cutscenes.
