Oh no, I don't know why the build crashed 😢
I know someone who's been able to launch it (Gentoo), and I myself am on Manjaro,
That said, thank you for playing and exploring the game, and even being able to unclip yourself!
To interact with villagers you can use [E] on the keyboard (or A on a controller), in theory there is a popup hint displayed when near them 🤔
