I (think I) had this issue with the first version I downloaded I think that was 1.0.0, it was gone when I tried 1.03.1 today. (it could be another issue related to what was running on my PC and was fixed by a reboot tho.)
A while after starting 1.0.0 and hearing the audio, i pressed enter (and might have clicked other things) I got a glitchy mess of a screen, but I was able to go into settings and try to change setting there etc. (just added this part to see if it was truly the same issue you're having.)
TL:DR; if you're not on 1.0.3.1 or later I would try to update the game.
