I just installed the new version again, and i have the following problems:

By starting the game i get "Controller connected" permanently displayed even though i don't have one connected. Despite that it still says press 'E' to continue to the main screen. I can still control the menu with my keyboard and get back with 'Esc'. But inside the Submenus (ex. Options>Sound) i get the Controller buttons displayed and what they do. However 'Controller connected' is covering it partially. If i go into  Options>Controlls because i was hoping to have there a setting to manually switch to keyboard controls i only get the controllor controls displayed and i can't get out of that submenu with 'Esc'. The only option i have to get out is to restart the game. (Additionally, the controller buttons that are displayed are xbox ones and if my controllor would have been connected it would be my PS5 Controller, though i dont think that matters)

After restarting the game because i couldn't get out of the controls menu i noticed a second problem. The sound settings don't get save. Everything is back at max volume after closing the game. If it's importent of any kind...i havent started a new gamefile yet.

That's very strange... Thank you for letting me know, I'll have to look into this further. 

The game is programmed to recognise controller input/keyboard input, so it's meant to automatically swap keys displayed on screen when you press any buttons on the keyboard / gamepad.
When the game works as intended the [CONTROLLER CONNECTED] text should disappear after a few seconds.

In your case something is making the game recognize the controller as a new controller connected, repeatedly, which overrides the keyboard key prompts and permanently keeps the controller connected text on screen.
The only thing I can suggest you do as of now is to try unplugging the controller to stop the text from appearing.

And you are right there is no way to manually set keyboard/controller as your choice of controls in the game. Perhaps that could be a solution I could implement to hopefully avoid this issue in the future. 

I'm not sure what could have caused the issue with the audio settings, but I'll have to look into that as well as that sounds concerning. 

Thank you again for the detailed explanation of the issues you encountered! 
Have a nice day ♥

The problem here is, that my controller is not even connected nor is the cabel i use to connect it. And i just started my first gamefile and i think i found the next bug. i'm not 100% sure how i did it , maybe i was holding s while pressing e to talk to the npc or i did  press both simultaniously, but after the dialog was over i was locked in a crouching position and no input would move my character. I could open the pause menue and use it and talk to her again by pressing 'e' but i couldn't get out of a locked position. I then returned to the title screen and loaded the file again which teleported me back to the green spawn point but i was still locked in a crouching position and my character didn't respond to any input.

Edit: After writing this answer (i just opened this thread as i was locked to add it to my post where i saw your reply then) i tapped back into the game and after closing the pause menu my character started to run left.  'A' and 'S' did nothing until it reched that black "wall monster" with the green eye from the opposite site were i'm locked now, since it cant go further left. 'Space' for jump and 's' for crouch work in this locked position as well for 'f' attack (only towards left or upwards by additionally pressing 'w') 'i' for inventory works as well as 'shift' for deflect

Edit Edit: I went back to the main menu and loaded the file again and i'm again crouching locked at the green spawnpoint

I tried to replicate it while filming it  with obs and a keyboard overlay, i couldn't replicate it but other interesting stuff is happening like the left running lock happening in a fresh file (Game hasn't been restardet since then)
