Hi,

just got this game from the Palestine bundle and am already stuck on Levels 2 and 3 with no clear way to proceed.

• In Level 2, I scroll up to the only accessible node. The game then doesn't tell me how to proceed from there, the "Scroll up to find a node" hint doesn't disappear. There are no workers available to place in the node on the UI, though pressing 1/Q still drops a worker token in my hand. Placing the token in the node doesn't do anything.
• I can exit out of the level and go to Level 3. In Level 3 there is again only one accessible node at the top, though dropping either an engineering or a science token there again doesn't change anything about the game.

I am halfway assuming I need to "start the loop" somehow, but I haven't been able to find a keybind that does that yet (Tried space, p)

EDIT: While I was writing this post,if anyone else is looking for a solution to this: I managed to figure out that pressing 'N' seems to proceed the game. Though there seems to be a limit to how many steps I can take with this. For example, I am not able to fill the innermost node on Level 2 before running out of time.

Hi there, I'm really enjoying this game! I'm partway through the "wasting away" section and it's very exciting and challenging!

My question is, is there a way to pause? (Other than hovering over tutorial text in the levels that have it.) Pressing Escape doesn't pause. Alt-tabbing away doesn't pause. Even if I press Exit and am asked if I'm sure I want to exit, it still doesn't pause. Just want to check if I'm missing something. Thanks!

I downloaded from itch.io (not Steam) and am on Windows 10  Home.

I wasn't sure it was just post game unfinished content but I've had some problems with 'the early years' batch of levels. I'm playing on windows, in level one, nothing loads in, just the background, no nodes or UI, and in level six I can't get past one loop, the connections between nodes disappear, and the progress on nodes doesn't advance. Love the game, thank you for all your work!

I am having an issue similar to strangeglyph where level 2 just doesn't work. I scroll up the the node (with mouse dragging and arrow keys) and nothing happens. I've zoomed in and out, put the node in the centre of the screen and moved it about, tried pressing n to see if that fixes it and nothing helps. I am playing on Windows.

Branches 18 contains an potentially unwanted interaction between Switches and Spinners - if you complete a Spinner node, but then Switch away from it, you can no longer switch back to it, softlocking you until the next loop. This could be an intentional ordering requirement, but I’m not sure since it isn’t described in game IIRC.

Hello there! Wonderful game.  I am having difficulties playing the game at 1920x1080. My display supports up to 120Hz, but every rate I pick reverts to 23Hz. When I run the game at lower resolutions I can select higher refresh rates. Any advice? 

The last (18th) level in Branches (chapter 5) seems to have a bug where one of the switch nodes will only 'go around' once and then get stuck in one position, making one of the connected nodes inaccessible. I managed to pass the level regardless by planning for a single 'go around' (so no rush!) but just wanted to let you know. I'm guessing it has something to do with how the switch will skip over 'finished' nodes, maybe it's mistakenly thinking an 'unfinished' node is finished? I don't have a mid-game screenshot, but i circled the node that breaks. I'm on Linux btw

Hey, congrats on the update release!!

I played the latest build a bit and noticed a gameplay bug. Sometimes I can't assign a token to a role-specific slot that satisfies the requirement. For example in the image below (from The early days-3, both same nodes) the Suleman token should be assigned to the top slot but it always takes up the free slot.

I don't remember having this issue in the old build, but could be just that I never noticed it.

In Branches Level 8, after finishing the right half of the level, after the loop resets, only these two nodes are visible. Everything else is gone, and the clock stops ticking down manually. I'm assuming this is a bug, and not an in-game representation of how deeply the scientists have bungled up the timeline

I'm playing the Steam version on Windows (but I assume this is a better place to post than on Steam).

I'm having an issue where level 4 of the Decision Fatigue section doesn't want to complete. When I finished the topmost of the two Goals, the timer stops, and the level doesn't progress. (Visual effects and background music still continue and I can move my mouse, and I can place and remove characters from nodes. But the timer doesn't continue and the level doesn't end or loop.)

I've also noticed several places in the new sections where nodes are marked with red or blue but I'm only able to place the opposite colour there. One example is in level 17 of Shards of Time, the circle of 4 nodes next to the topmost goal, if I place blue characters, they go in the red nodes.
