Thanks for taking the time to play my game, I appreciate you taking the time to comment as well! Oh that's interesting about the always dash option as it seems to be working for me - did you by chance
[EARLY GAME SPOILER]
unlock the ability to dash by helping Samael, the first villager in the house to the right once you enter Revenir? It might be easy to miss - an item appears on his dresser after you help him.
Hope this helps and thanks again!
