very first room I failed. Because none of the switches work. Unless you sit there and do nothing and wait for all the dialogue. Only then do the switches start working - but there is zero visual indication that the switches were broken before, and are now fixed.
I got it, that’s actually the “first room entry” dialogue playing, nothing is broken but the controls are blocked until the dialogue. You can advance the dialogue using “Space” or “Enter”, and skip it entirely using “Escape” keys.
I think dialogue controls must be told clearly, but I thought they might be obvious
