    OS: macOS 14.6.1
    Method: Whisky 2.3.2
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Settings: Fullscreen set to "Off"
    Framerate: 15 - 25 FPS (D3DMetal), 60 FPS (DXVK)
    Controller: KB/M & DualShock 4
    Comment: The game takes a very long time to start, usually around 2 - 5 minutes, and most areas in the game either load instantly or take a minute to load. There are also some minor visual glitches, such as the blood explosion not being present in the chapter select screen and the Moon loading screens having visible artifacts. Aiming with the mouse is very jerky, even with mouse acceleration turned off in Mac settings or with a tool such as ExactMouse, a controller is recommended for this reason.

    Comment: The game starts instantly and loads into the menu as expected, but once you are loaded into a save file, most graphics, except some models and HUD elements, have a solid black texture, making it so that you can't see the game at all, essentially making it unplayable.
