[DISCLAIMER] My PC DOES NOT meet the listed minimum requirements: they recommend a GeForce GTX 750 Ti or newer GPU, which has 2GB VRAM, whereas I am playing on a Huawei MateBook D14 with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, set to 1GB VRAM only. I know it's my own fault for purchasing the game when the devs clearly listed a higher GPU than what I've got.
Having said this: it's not the first time I buy a game that listed higher specs than what I have, and, generally, if I lower some graphical options, they tend to run just fine. In fact, Janitor Bleeds DOES run extremely well with graphics set to Medium and resolution set to 800x600 (which, to be fair, I actually prefer, since it adds to the "retro" feel of the game). My only complain is regarding some sections that will stutter down to a crawl if I so much as look at them, making the game unplayable. Imagine a circle surrounding our character in every area, now slice a section of that circle: if I look inside that slice of the circle, everything starts to stutter horribly and I'm almost unable to move due to the lag.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with optimization or something else, but hopefully Korpus addresses this issue, because the rest of the game runs flawlessly. Also, I'm aware the GOG forums aren't as busy as they used to be, and the chances the devs read this is slim, at best, but at least there's this one report in case someone googles for issues with this game.
Kudos to Korpus for developing such a cool game. Looking forward to an upcoming optimization patch, assuming they'll work on one.
