Which cross brought you back to the menu? It seems strange to me that this happened.
What text is in the middle instead? Only dialogue should appear
its the cross button meantioned to get me to the map screen on the right side under the portal button in my room. i replayed all lost content in some minutes with skip mode and it happend some times more while in skip mode. now im manually saving after every task i did, but it doesnt appear a single time since then (not in skip mode). But i usually never use skip mode, because i dont like it, so i never did skip mode until "back to menu" issue appeared, i will try to reproduce that issue on purpose whenever ive fnished the content. But if this only happens in the early game in some progress combination, i might need to start a new game and try to reproduce every single step one by one.
When i got thrown back to the menu the usual screen appears like i wouldve started the .exe regulary.
Really nice artwork and storyline so far, im pretty impresse by your animation skills and story writing skills ;)
