This game is great so far from the little I played, but I'm having issues turning the character at times and after I died while listening to the car radio next to the bus, I lost all items upon respawn and none of them respawned into the world.

Thank you for letting me know about those bugs!
Were there any specific areas in the level that gave you difficulty turning, or was it more of a random thing? And was that on a controller or with keyboard and mouse?
I’ll have to take a look near that car to see if there’s anything weird happening with collision or anything like that - apologies there. On a side note, do you think I should change it so that the game pauses while looking at notes and listening to audio?
Glad you’re liking it so far! I’ll try getting bug fixes for these issues pushed shortly!
It happened on both controller and keyboard and it happened randomly and then just randomly fixed itself as well or at least there was no connection I saw. There were some odd collision stuff, but nothing I wasn't able to back out of. Pausing while look at notes and listening to audio would be good for gamers, plus it would add to immersion imo since that is what survival horror games did at the time.
That’s too bad that there isn’t a common thread with the turning issues, but I’ll do everything I can to replicate it! Would you be willing to share your CPU/GPU/OS just for reference? Every data point helps with pinpointing this stuff so with that info I should hopefully be able to get some equivalent playtesting done to try replicating it.
And good point! I had left time running when examining things to try driving up tension, but getting killed off-screen while looking at things isn’t going to be a fun experience for anyone. Thank you again for the feedback!
