Key points
- Updated re-release of the PC version with more graphical options and bugfixes.
- Game speed is tied to framerate, meaning slowdowns on lower end machines and speedups with high refresh-rate displays.
- Some of the Japanese voices are used even when the game is set to English; e.g. Purge's laugh in Stage 4.
