Known issues

W2–W5 are four-post development slices, not completed worlds. The full campaign, numbered ending scenes, further story bindings and credits remain in development.
Short stationary presentation samples were near 60 fps; RAM snapshots of about464–466 MiB remain above the 400 MiB budget. Representative CPU/GPU, GC, draw calls, loading and peak-memory measurements remain open.
Actual tablet checks cover menu navigation, sampled motion and bounded checkpoint/respawn behavior. Full continuous native multitouch completion and human phone playtesting remain open.
Android is the delivered platform for this release. iOS, desktop and WebGL delivery and full milestone acceptance remain open.
