The game suffers from a weird bug - game pauses itself randomly. Happens to me on rare occasions on Windows desktop. And happens to me frequently on Steam Deck, BUT only when I use KBM config.

The issue seems to dissapear, when

• I use the official layout (which is just gamepad mappings);
• I use hybrid layout (mouse to right trackpad and gyro, everything else is gamepad mappings).

Another workaround which kinda works is to plug a gamepad and set it aside. Here are couple of test cases:

• Windows PC, connected Dualshock 4 via cable, set it aside, issue did not occur during 20 minute playtime.
• Windows PC, connected Dualshock 4 via cable, played with KBM config, issue occured.
• Windows PC, connected Dualshock 4 via cable, played with hybrid config, issue did not occur during another 20 minute playtime.
• Steam Deck, connected Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth, set it aside, rearranged gamepads order so DS4 is the 1st, played with SD controller with KBM config, issue did not occur.
• Steam Deck, connected Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth, set it aside, rearranged gamepads order so DS4 is the 2nd, played with SD controller with KBM config, issue occured.

Anyway, if this issue happens to you, and my workarounds don't work, just refund the game. Devs moved on to a different project.
