Made it to the mysterious knightess and got my reward, the sprite going down was a nice touch.
Other than that, I also rode the dragon to the second area with the tunes, overall I only encountered one small additional bug other than the loading screen one you already mentioned on the game page: If you have an interact prompt (in my case right now, the talk to mysterious knightess), the escape pause menu seems to no longer be responsive. Works again when you move away so the prompt is no longer active.
Love the overall feel of this, it had me hooked to explore everything there was to it.
