Hollow Knight and Dead Cells run on my computer with no issues. For some bizarre reason, this game's performance is absolutely DREADFUL. I don't know what the dev could have possibly done to make it run so poorly. No exaggeration, I get about 5 FPS, and the game itself runs in slow-motion, at like 1/6th of the normal speed. Hilariously, the frame skip feature has absolutely no impact on the performance or speed of the game, it just halves the framerate, making the game even more unplayable. I was quite hyped for the game, and I would still love to come back and play it, if and when this all gets fixed.

I had a similar problem, but only in the "undead town" area of the game.  The game up until then had run fine.

It was only using 5% of my CPU during the slowdown as well, which makes me think maybe it's a weird timing issue rather than a performance problem.
