I can progress up until 4-5 questions, until the book appears. After that, the screen goes black again. I can press SPACE to reset, but the book disappears and I have to start from the beginning. That means I'll be stuck in the loop and can't progress (quite fitting in a way, ha!)\n\n---\n\nI really like the music and minimalist graphical style!\n\nI'll gladly revisit the game if there will be a bug-fix or something.\n\n(...if the way I got stuck was really unintentional, and not planned that is!)\n\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FireTwin","author_uid":"1028230","time":"2020-10-06T23:25:04Z","epoch":1602026704,"modified":1602066812,"text":"Thank you very much Dis0rder for the feedback. I have done a bunch of bug fixes now so hopefully your issue should be fixed now. :) The book issue is because the instructions aren't shown in the game yet.
