Sometimes the game may be slow as it loads graphics. It can also seem slow as it won't show the arrow icon (E) to go to the next step until a question has been answered (and one scene where there's a deliberate pause). You must click a checkmark icon (F) to advance past notifications.

When you use the pain card or other resources available – it will open them in a new window and the game will pause while you read the resources. The only thing needed for the resources is a pdf viewing application. The game will save after each act.
