Thanks so much for playing and for the clear feedback!
You're right about the Skip button. It skips the whole conversation, but it sits right where a "next" button would be. I'll rename it to "Skip all", move it out of the dialogue box, and add a clear "continue" hint instead.
The missing sound is a great catch. The game does have music and sound effects, so it looks like a bug in the browser build. I'm looking into it now and will post an update when it's fixed.
Betacade sounds interesting! For this first playtest I'm keeping things simple with my own anonymous logging, but I may reach out later when I need deeper analytics. Thanks for the offer!
