Developers of Russian counterpart to Slay the Spire apologized for a large number of bugs. Knock on the Coffin Lid launch on Steam did not go smoothly

The popular Slay the Spire concept also attracted the attention of Russian developers. Knock on the Coffin Lid will be further refined.

Recently, Knock on the Coffin Lid was released on PC on Steam. It is a game from Russian developers, reminiscent in spirit of the famous Slay the Spire — it is a card roguelike.

The protagonist wakes up in a cold crypt a thousand miles from home, stripped of memories of what happened and in the company of a mysterious stranger. To regain lost memories, he must investigate the dark secrets of his own death, form unexpected alliances, and carefully plan his path.

On Steam, Knock on the Coffin Lid has plenty of positive reviews (around an 85% rating after 800+ reviews), but from a technical standpoint there are certain issues.

Regarding the quality of the release, RedBoon founder Andrey aka Innrey decided to speak out — the issues are acknowledged, and they are determined to fix the game (the team is small, time is needed):

“I want to express huge gratitude to you for noticing us. To be honest, we did not expect such interest in us and did not expect such activity. On one hand, it is very pleasant and I am happy that KOTCL generated such interest. On the other hand, you found quite a lot of bugs that negatively affect the impression of our game. I want to apologize for such a number of bugs.

Our team has only 5 people who can promptly fix issues, and to tell the truth, we haven't slept for two days straight, sorting through your reports and messages. I want to say that I am very grateful to all of you for the feedback, your help is very valuable! Honestly, we have never had such a number of players and playtesters. And that's why I ask you for a favor: please give us a little more time and we will fix everything!”.
