Thanks for this feedback. It is super detailed and helpful. For the help menu, I fixed that not just for the mouse, but the gamepad and keyboard--since rolling back is indeed not allowed. As for the sound, I think I will 100% try to level it more equally. My laptop is, to my fortune, quite loud. Often I test things with too high or low of a volume to be standard, lol.
And I am sort of glad you still have questions! I think that some answers, or half-answers, are in the game itself. But at the same time, I am glad you were left wanting more, in some sense. Not only is the mystery of it all central, but I always find it a good thing when you are left asking more questions/wondering in general after something than with all the answers.
Thank you for your time! In both playing the game and this feedback.
