Weltschmerz is a free game, but donating a minimum of $3 will give you access to the artbook and song played in the game.

Known "Bugs": The scene will jump around or lag a little during the exploration sections. This is due to the custom sizing from the camera used to coordinate effects and is not abnormal gameplay.

Please note that the web version of the game may lag due to the camera effects. If you encounter any issues, please download the version of the game that corresponds to your OS.
