Yeah I wasn't talking about the newspaper, I was talking about the main game text at the top of the screen. In your screenshots it looks how I figured it was supposed to, but when I tried all that text overlapped and bugged out making it unreadable. Maybe it's a bug related to the HTML5 window size?
And yeah... I figured as much with the audio, but at a certain point it's just too obnoxious that I can't stand it and have to mute, overriding the experience of Cthulhu maddening.
