Hello i've read you're response and have gone ahead and fix a few things there is now a how to play menu in the main menu scene.
I added a small opening cutscene that should explain that you need to leave the town to fight some monsters.
i did increase the dialogue speed for NPCs however the intro and end cutscene remains the pervious speed because I believe that it worked for them but i should have changed it up for the NPCs my bad that I did not notice it before.
also thank you for pointing out the texture compression issues, I have now gone ahead and set all of our 2D assets to use none for texture compression. Thank you for the feedback !
