I am able to reproduce the control lock with the following steps:
- Start game, spam left click
- Pick a backstory
- Pick a name
- Exit apartment
- Press `esc`
- Select controls
- Press `esc` twice to exit controls and menu
I personally think I should be able to walk over the bodies but it's your game :-D
Parry should not be an instant block that you can hold down, but something that must be timed correctly. It's a tricky thing to get right because now you probably need wind-up animations for every attack as well balancing the parry window. It's just something to think about. I'm having a hard time finding a good strategy to fights other than tanking hits.
Another thing, it would be nice when starting a new game to get a warning that the old game is going to be overwritten. I ended up overwriting an existing game I had when I started the game up and accidentally selected `new` instead of `restore`. I quit the game immediately and now `restore` went to the brand new game :-(
