FYI, loving the game so far.
it has a lot of potential and i hope you can accomplish that!
[Bug] Emoti-Stop Bug <-Name
When pressing the ESC button and F (pause and command wheel)
the game pops the command wheel on top of the pause menu, i chose the Player>masturbate option and it cause the game to freeze while also occasionally giving a one frame flicker?
i wasnt able to do anything after that, so i tried to alt tab and back to see if that got it unstuck but that was when i noticed the flicker.
since i dont see the official bug post, this is where i shall leave my findings.
think of it as a bar that is left to right. you use your mouse to "target" the opening.
[ - - - - - - - - - -] (i imagine 10 spots myself, like this example.)
this bar has one point that lets you open it.
the points next to it let you attempt to open it.
[ 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 2 ] for this example #3 opens the box.
#3 opens the box, #2 attempts to open the box and usually makes it look like you are super close. #1 you'll get a slight swivel to the lock but nothing more. #0 you get a jiggle and nothing more.
so in order to unlock it you have to imagine moving your mouse through this bar to get where it unlocks.
[ 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 2 ]
