I totally get your point, and you're right. We should have made it the way you mention. It would have been better with a text saying that this option would be available in the Game and not in the Arena or something like that or just removed as you suggest. This is caused by two main facts:
1 - My lazyness 😅
2 - I didn't know we would end up publishing the Arena outside Patreon/Substar
And that's why I didn't accounted for that 😣.
About the square default texture though. They're not the default texture, that's a custom material and it's used on purpose on those missions (1 and 10) to make it look like it's a virtual reality environment. This is the asset link: https://www.fab.com/listings/a6ab4843-7c8a-47d1-912c-fc1c3553df23. And this is a picture of the real default texture:https://i.sstatic.net/5HwYT.png. Just wanted to clarify 😄.
