Steam Deck
Steam’s rating
Playable
Steam tested it on the Deck. What passed and what did not:
| Steam’s check | Result |
|---|---|
| Some on-screen button icons do not match the Deck's buttons | Note |
| Some text is small and may be hard to read | Note |
| The display has minor issues that do not stop play | Note |
| The default controls are fully functional | Passed |
| Runs well with the default settings | Passed |
The studio says it runs smoothly on the Deck but the controls are fiddly there for now. Map a button to zoom (Z or middle click) and turn on Sewing Assist, which is on getting 100% quality. A full button map to copy is on Steam Deck controls.
