Thanks a lot! This is our very first game, and we are so happy that people like the art and atmosphere!
As for the sound levels - we completely missed that during testing. The whole team used the same headsets and had our PC volumes mixed in a way that it never felt too loud to us. We only realized the issue when a friend of mine told us he almost had a heart attack when the first day started! :D
We definitely need to adjust the default volume balances for the post-jam build. Thank you for the detailed feedback and for playing!
