A critical issue has surfaced on the console versions of The Knight Witch, which results in unprecedented increase of gameplay speed in the game. This unfortunately affects several other gameplay mechanics which doesn't reflect the original version of the game the developers had intended to produce.

The Nintendo Switch, Steam and GOG version of the game are unaffected and will launch as planned originally.
