This looks really cool! Unfortunately I'm encountering some kind of soft-lock that prevents me from going beyond the very first line of dialog. :(
I started with a controller and was able to select "New Game" in the menu, but then I had to use keyboard to get past the message. After that, the scene loads, the dialog appears, but no matter what I press (or hold) on controller, keyboard our mouse, nothing happens. I then tried to unplug the controller to only play with keyboard, but it was worst: I was stuck on the message at the start! It feels like I can validate 1 thing only with keyboard, and after that the game doesn't read any input.
I'm on a Windows 11, with an AMD Ryzen processor and a Raden GPU. Also my OS is in French (but setting the keyboard to qwerty didn't change anything). I might try to run it on Linux with Proton, who knows sometimes it can do wonders.^^'
I hope you'll be able to fix it. This looks like a gem (and definitely the kind of game I enjoy)! If you need some more info, or if there's a log I can send you, don't hesitate to ask.
