Hey Arvantus, thanks for taking the time to check out my game and leave feedback!
The text is click to advance, so if you are having issues with skipping automatically, it might be an issue with browser focus or input. Refreshing usually helps, I am not able to duplicate the issue on Firefox or Chrome, but I will keep an eye on it!
The SFX you are hearing is actually part of the bassline of the BGM! As for the UI, I was heavily inspired by classic Sierra games, so the minimalist style, including that music, and the lack of highlights and a settings menu, are intentional choices of that design.
Thank you again for stopping by to play!
