Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate that. The menu buttons are located on the sides, that's why they have columns, it won't start when you press the start, rather the column next to it. The ship sequence at the beginning is the cutscene, as you can realize because there are no controls for the ship. The helmet is only part of the prologue, it's supposed to feel more claustrophobic, because as you go deeper in the game, you actually don't use the helmet.
I will definitely look into improvement to the game, not to say, next time I will be using an actual, modern working game engine. Thanks a lot!
