Thanks for your feedback! We are still in Pre-Alpha stage and trying to work out a few core things along with the issues you mentioned.
The menu and save system won't be ready for a few more weeks. Right now we are still trying to work out a menu with spells, weapons, items, and a gallery of unlocked scenes.
We hope to eventually give the player the option to be either male or female but the final player models are still not decided.
We are trying to come up with a solution to reel the player up, right now the only way to do it is to let go and then grapple again which automatically pulls you up but is not very intuitive.
We post updated builds and update videos regularly, hopefully the issues you pointed out will be resolved soon.
