Thank you for playing and I'm glad the story was able to speak to you, it means a lot to me!
In regards to the bugs:
- I wasn't able to recreate the title screen issue, so I'm not sure what is going on there. When I load a save the game continues as normal.
- I was able to patch this one, as you aren't supposed to be able to interact with it until the boss is dead.
I've uploaded the version with the patch for that bug. Thanks for the feedback!
