Version 1.0.4 (2026-08-13) officially addressed this cutscenes issue: Pausing a cutscene leaves unwanted screen blur. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.
Match the symptom
Pausing a cutscene leaves unwanted screen blur.
Check before changing your save
Record whether blur begins during pause and remains after returning to play; distinguish this from low texture resolution.
- Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.

- Preserve graphics settings before testing a one-setting change.
Official fix versus your current save
The developer's Version 1.0.4 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.
Recovery decision
Preserve graphics settings before testing a one-setting change.
- If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
- If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
- If it repeats, report cutscenes, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
