During the dialogues the cursos doesn't show up: you're supposed to press X, Enter or Space.
Do you have a keyboard connected?
You could also try with a gamepad if you have one!
Let me know if a keyboard solves it :)
Thank you. That's what confused me. I had to click the mouse a few times to get started, and assumed that was the way to move forward. Yes, I do have a keyboard attached and look forward to getting started! Thanks again!
Controls are explained before pressing the start button :)
