PTE Known Issues
Although we've fixed a number of bugs found in our previous playtest, the PTE build remains a pre-alpha meaning you'll likely run into issues throughout your playthrough. Our Known Issues list is below:
Softlock Issues:
Issue: Cut organ minigame soft locks the game if failed and pass successfully at the same time in Autopsy only mode. Failing near finish of the maze can make this happen.
Other Issues:
Issue: Changing the Action button in the Controls menu makes neither LMB nor the new button working in menus (Autopsy Only Mode).
Issue: Changing the language in Main Menu - Settings results in buttons being unresponsive.
Issue: Alligator bite minigame can be done after guessing cause of death in Autopsy only mode.
Issue: Rebinding movement buttons does not change in-game movement.
Issue: Button prompts can be visible and do not change while changing controls in Autopsy Only Mode.
Issue: The knife in the animation slices through the stomach before the player ends the stomach slicing minigame in Autopsy Only Mode.
Issue: "Bruises on head" can be photographed and pinned to the magnetic board before the General Photo.
Issue: Incorrect button prompts are displayed during alligator bite minigame in Autopsy Only Mode.
Issue: The Facial Edema mark on the female body's face doesn't cover the whole nose.

Issue: Marks on the right hand do not move along with it during the Rigor Mortis.
Issue: The legs are clipping through the apron during movement.
