To be completely honest, I held on for the next update because the game was very stable. I worked hard to optimize all the lights in the game - the biggest performance hog in the entire game. But I was afraid to break the already great working demo.
Until I saw a streamer get stuck between rooms.
The most fundamental mechanic of Immortum is separated rooms, in classic horror fashion, with a transition animation in between. And that exact crucial mechanic completely broke and the poor streamer got stuck between rooms.
You can watch the video here:

At 44:37 it gets completely breaks the game because you are locked out of a previous room, so you cannot go back. You get stuck between rooms.
No major breaking changes were introduced. Different people tested the game. Other content creators and streamers had the same experience. And yet, it broke for one single person.
I was devastated, but determined.
The kind streamer liked the game and we collaborated, allowing me to fix this game breaking bug and it had a side effect!
But it was a great one. Now the transition between rooms is much smoother!

Of course, since I was forced to update the game breaking bug, the light optimization are in as well - and they work great!
Now please. Don't break Immortum.
Let's all just have fun!
