ah crap, you found our game's biggest weakness: going left! We just trusted that most players would go right, since it is ingrained, but it's not foolproof! I definitely could've done a better job of making that part more recognizable, I feel like it is pretty recognizable once you start approaching the cave but you can't see that when you go left immediately.
And yeah good point, we should probably add a button you can hold to skip text, so players don't accidentally skip it, and don't have to rewatch it over again.
Thanks for all the feedback! Glad you came and checked it out
