You can change the volume for sound effects (🔊) and music (🎵) separately in the main menu and pause menu, but with the lack of text on-screen, I can’t blame you for missing that one. And yeah, I definitely had to cut down on the amount of player freedom (a lot of truncation, very limited branching, etc) in order to keep everything palatable, which does hurt the “Metroidvania” of it all. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback!
