What time did it unlock?

SteamDB recorded the unlock at 13:00 UTC on 20 October. In local terms that was 6:00 AM on the US west coast, 9:00 AM on the east coast, 2:00 PM in London and 3:00 PM in Berlin.

Steam unlocks globally at one moment; console stores often unlock at local midnight. That is why PS5 and Xbox players in some regions could start hours before their PC friends.

What are the PC requirements?

The Steam listing is unusually specific, and the microphone note is not optional:

Component Minimum Recommended
OS Windows 11, 64-bit Windows 11, 64-bit
CPU Ryzen 5 3600 or equivalent Ryzen 5 5600X or equivalent
RAM 8 GB 16 GB
GPU GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB RTX 3060
DirectX 12 12
Storage 25 GB 25 GB
Network Broadband Broadband
Extra Working microphone Working microphone

If your PC meets the minimum but stutters, patch 1.1.2 added DX11 as a launch option. That is the first thing to try before lowering settings - the game has no benchmark or extensive graphics menu.

The system requirements page covers the same table with more detail on laptops and integrated graphics.

Does Steam support crossplay?

Yes. The Steam version lists Cross-Platform Multiplayer, and the game uses a room-code system so platform does not matter. You can host on PC and join from PS5 or Xbox, or the other way around.

Crossplay needs the game's own voice chat to work, because there is no in-game text chat alternative for puzzle calls. Patch 1.1.3 fixed a bug where testing the microphone could mute the channel; if your partner cannot hear you, re-check the audio device before rebuilding the lobby.

What do you get for the price?

The standard edition is the full game. There is no season pass, no story DLC and no cosmetics store. The launch discount was 10% for the first days after release; whether it returns depends on Steam sales.

Steam Achievements are supported, and the game supports Family Sharing, so a household can share a library - though two players still need two copies to play together at the same time.

What about the demo?

The demo is gone. It had several windows in 2026 and was removed from Steam after the last one in July. Old demo guides describe puzzles that may have changed before launch, so do not rely on them for solutions. The demo guide records what it contained.
