Oopss, messed up a bit and Azuli wasn't supposed to join the party that early when starting the game normally. Couldn't replicate the freeze but I'm theorizing that Azuli ended up in a position where she was blocking the rebel's scripted path to reach Flor and that prevented the game from advancing.
Released an hotfix making Flor start solo so things should be working now, re-tested the start a couple of times to make sure, feel free to give it another try!
Also glad to hear you've enjoyed the music and graphics!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
