### 1/5 — Can’t play game already purchased

*2026-02-15, version 1.0.0*

As title says, when I go thru the purchase process and get the message that I previously purchased and would I like it for free, I click OK, get a message that the purchase was successful but the Unlock Now never goes away and I can’t progress in the game. This is the first problem I’ve had with Grim Tales games.

### 2/5 — Pretty glitchy

*2025-02-21, version 1.0.0*

The preview is extremely short and once you buy the full version, it gets very glitchy. Too bad, as it is a nice game otherwise.
