Thank you SO much for engaging so deeply and leaving such thoughtful comments!! We're well aware that solving the game is pretty unreasonable in its current state, but we have plans to fix that, and your feedback here is extremely valuable in both guiding & motivating those efforts :D
I did try to make it so the slow text reveal only happens the first time, and that was even one of the few things I actually tested, so it's frustrating that it didn't work right for you!! Thank you for the report, I'll try to get that and some of these other specific errors fixed right now.
Well, I've fixed the other two bugs, but I couldn't replicate the slow Monk text issue in (Mac) Vivaldi. It should just all appear at once, with the music, the second time and third through. I don't want to ask you to click through all that again just to test it, but if anyone else reading this runs into a problem with this please let me know!
