Can you fight the Lazy Shadow? Whenever I get the Pillar in the same room as the Lazy Shadow, there are never enough enemies to activate the pillar.
I do really like the game though, although it was a little rough starting. I did not know you had to select the character before entering the Pub. So I had no idea how to spend LM's till a good ways into my play through.
Also, I'm noticing a lot of frame lag in high lighting areas (even more so with the flash light). But turning on the Photosensitive mode will bring performance back up for the floor. And toggling the setting will stop the frame lag when you do another run. (mainly the library area)
