Key points

Game speed is tied to FPS, meaning slowdowns on lower end machines and speedups with high refresh-rate displays.
Some of the Japanese voices are used even when the game is set to English; e.g. Purge's laugh in Stage 4.

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/71260/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (71260) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
