my discord name is "renolc." with the period at the end -- but I'm not in your server and don't use discord much so I'm not sure how this works

Ha! Clutch finish 😄
That’s a good note on item ambiguity. I tried to have a little text blurb give a hint for what you pick up, but it doesn’t persist so I could see that hint being missed or not read in time.
In my post jam update I might add some sort of text indicator to describe what you’re holding
I am on windows using Chrome. I was hoping it was something simple like the UI taking control of the mouse or something. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out what the difference is. I was Still able to get out so it wasn't completely a loss. I did not try moving the mouse a lot like was suggested above so I don't know if that works. Once the inner monologue finishes you regain control of the mouse
That’s a good thought on what might be the cause. Could be as simple as setting the text panel to ignore mouse focus. I don’t currently have windows set up for testing, but this is an excellent lesson for me to do that in future jams 😅
Appreciate you sticking with it anyway and reporting the issue in the first place 🙇
Ugh, my apologies. I’m on Mac and tested on Safari (where it seems to work correctly) and Chrome where there is an issue when the level first loads but after that it appears to work fine.
To clarify, are you saying that any time you inspect something and the inner monologue text appears then you can’t look around at all? As in moving the mouse does nothing while text is displaying?
