Thanks for playing and leaving good feedback!
The UI overall seems to be a killer, which shouldn't surprise me since I packed a lot into it and didn't fix it up as much as I should've. Product of too much game and too little time and brain cells.
Last second I pulled out the pause function on it and it caused...so many issues lol but in the post-jam update coming out that issue has been fixed thankfully.
The buttons are still a WIP in the update, part of the developer bias of "I can kinda tell enough which one it is so it should be fine" and as you experienced it's really hard to tell in the jam version. New version is better, hoping it's a solid change overall since buttons are one of the biggest impact pieces in the game.
The wild entrapment is something I'm still working on, I'm not 100% sure why that dialogue freaks out but I've noticed it even after I fixed up the eventing system. Definitely will need to be fixed in the update coming.
Hopefully I'll be able to make the post-jam update make the game feel a lot more stable and overall enjoyable! And hope some people come back for 2nd round :D
