Hi! Thank you so much for playing and for providing such extensive feedback. I have just updated the demo to version 1.0.1 which should fix all these bugs.
Crafting Station: Added a back button in the top‑right. You can now exit with the X key or by clicking the button.
Crafting Station: Recipes now persist through save/load.
Letter to the Mayor: Added a back button.
Bin Counter Reset: Fixed so your progress doesn’t reset after saving and loading.
Cooking Recipes: Made available recipe names easier to read.
Controls: Added instructions on controls at the beginning. This should help with opening inventory and planting (you can use X to open the menu).
Quests: Added a new tutorial on how to complete quests.
If you encounter any additional bugs, please let me know!
