Hey! Oof that's a bummer, what os are you using? Yea this is def a rare bug.
edit: I'd recommend trying with all controllers and such input devices unplugged, even if they are controller emulators. Sounds like an input problem.
Just picked this up as part of a bundle (game was featured on PC gamer). Same problem for me, Windows 10, and it happens on 0N0W as well (didn't try the other 2 games yet but I'm guessing it will occur there also).
It does look like it's picking up something due to having a couple of other controllers I have attached. Bit inconvenient to have to disconnect though!
