I can't review a game if I can't finish it, and Still Wakes the Deep is broken because of this bug

I was not among the lucky few to be blessed with a Still Wakes the Deep review code ahead of the narrative-horror game's launch, but I still planned to review the title for Windows Central alongside the first wave of players. Reviewing any game means actually finishing the game, though — while that may sound like an obvious prerequisite for a thorough review, it's not always a given.

Unfortunately, I cannot review Still Wakes the Deep right now, because I've encountered a game-breaking, progression-halting bug that completely prevents me from completing the game. I'm not the only one afflicted by this bug, and my research and own troubleshooting attempts have yielded zero solutions or workarounds. So, consider this both a word of caution if you intend to play the game and my initial impressions barring a full review.
