Multiplayer
The Steam page lists online co-op, and Paper Cult describes party support for up to four players. Version 0.14.58630 temporarily disables crossplay on the normal Steam branch and directs players who need compatibility to the separate “crossplay” Beta branch. Follow the version-mismatch guide before organizing a mixed-store session.
Steam Deck status
Paper Cult says the August 13 update includes crash and optimization work that should bring more stability on Steam Deck. That is an official patch claim, not a hardware benchmark or an official Valve compatibility rating.
Until repeatable current-build tests are recorded, this page does not promise a frame rate, battery duration or graphics preset. Deck players should install the latest patch, compare the version shown in game and check the live Steam compatibility panel before buying for that device alone.
Languages listed on Steam
The store lists interface or subtitle support for English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish from Spain. Voice support varies; consult the store's language table for the current breakdown.
