Congrats on the release. I've been playing it for a bit now and it's pretty good, but I wanted to leave a bug report.

1. According to the guide packed in with the game, I should be able to recruit a temporary third party member in Prologue I after recruiting my second party member, but I can't. The NPC I'm supposed to speak to in order to recruit this temporary party member, Marturo the shepherd boy, simply repeats the same line over and over and never actually triggers the sequence that leads to the recruitment.

2. After beating the boss in the forest, when I go back to town, all of the NPC dialogue talks about future events, specifically they seem to have their dialogue from after you beat the final boss of Prologue I. Also, Marturo the shepherd boy appears in two places at once (the village and the cemetary where he refuses to let me recruit that temporary third party member).

I have to echo kuma9k's comments here. The encounter rate is weirdly very low, the hijacking minigame costs too much to do, it's too easy to fail, and what's more, you're not even told *how it works* when you first try to do it. I thought you had to touch the enemy's sprite with Sumireko's sprite and kept wondering why it didn't work, until I randomly pressed a button and discovered I could shoot.

Also, the Sleepers are way too hard (Satori, the very first Sleeper you meet, probably shouldn't be able to two-shot you), and losing a level every time you die is *way* too harsh of a punishment. I'd rather the traditional Dragon Quest punishment of losing half my money than that.

Thanks a lot. Here's a link to the log file from the last time I tried to run it: https://pastebin.com/dTD26qK7

I downloaded this recently after a recommendation from a friend, but it doesn't work on my Windows 10 machine. It throws up a fatal error, and the logs say "no available audio device" which is patently untrue. Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
