appreciate you playing. you beat the first chapter. 3 more to go. sometimes you gotta get hurt to break through. admittedly i needed more time to make it all flow better. you're supposed to be protected from some shocks when doing the escape sequence, don't think it's firing like it should.
And just found that bug myself, you are right, had a persistence issue that didn't show up when playing on my computer. Should be able to continue past chapter 1. Very appreciated for that bug report.
