Ah yeah the walkthrough for the menu helps a lot, thanks! I can navigate it just fine now, I didn't understand it at all before!
I downloaded it, is there any way to save? I think I've lost my progress now...
I tried it for a bit now, it's quite good! Interesting mechanics, and good tutorials. Once I got into it a bit the buttons made sense, and the gameplay is cool. Really cool though, it's such a nice actual gameplay and story that's completely blind accessible! And thanks for getting back and writing such a complex reply :)

THANK YOU! We're thrilled that you like it so far!
All of your settings should get saved/loaded in case you spend a lot of time tweaking volume levels or adjusting input settings, but there's no save system for the game progression itself.
However, the game is designed to let you skip a lot of content if you want. If you already learned how to unlock the Bow in the Village, it should be pretty fast to repeat (and I'll probably add a Debug action to the pause menu to let you do it even more quickly today). Almost all of the interactions in the Village are optional, so only hang out there as long as you're having fun. Once you have the Bow, you can leave the Village and explore even more :-).
There used to be Debug options for just teleporting to different places in the game, so that early testers could give feedback on different areas without having to play from scratch every time. Right before the jam deadline, I was stitching all of the areas together, and accidentally broke these teleporters, so I temporarily removed them from the game so they didn't just cause confusion and pain. I'll try to add these back in safely, so you can also just jump directly to the dungeon or to the final boss on repeat plays (or if you get bored, lol).
