Key points
- The game will not run with drivers that do not support OpenGL 3.0. This is most often the reason for crashes on Intel graphics card. See here on how to fix it.
- The game is meant to be played with a controller, including requirements in some puzzles of rumble features. Those are however mirrored with stereo sound.
