Some more testing: Restarting the game seems to temporarily fix the "stuck" issue. If I correctly solve Level 2, the game proceeds to Level 3 and starts ticking, yes. Sometimes if I go back to Level 2 I get this pop up, which I believe belongs to Level 3? Can't reproduce the stuck tutorial bug at the moment.

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm playing on Windows (installed the game via the itch desktop app, if that's relevant). I was scrolling using the mouse. 

Just gave it a try with the arrow keys, and it then did proceed with the tutorial, showing the worker tokens and unpausing the game. On a second try, it now also works with the mouse. I also figured out why it wasn't working for me the first time: If I'm already at the top of the screen by the time the second tutorial box (the "Scroll up to the node" one) pops up, then it doesn't proceed unless I move the screen again. Sometimes it doesn't proceed at all.

Generally the game doesn't seem to handle early inputs well. If I manage to scroll to the top of the screen before the first tutorial box ("Pan with the mouse or arrow keys") finishes fading in, it doesn't proceed to the second box either until I move again. At some point I managed to pan before the "Level 2" pop up appears, causing none of the game UI to appear at all.

Level 3 is still not ticking - maybe I need to complete Level 2 first?

During my testing of Level 2 I found another bug: During the first loop, the clock didn't show up (the game did tick though), and after I failed to complete the task in time I got this screen:

where I cannot place a token in any node now and the game is not ticking again. I tried hovering and unhovering the hint texts, but that didn't unfreeze the game. Sadly I am now always stuck on the "tutorial not proceeding" bug so I can't test this bug any further.

Hi,

just got this game from the Palestine bundle and am already stuck on Levels 2 and 3 with no clear way to proceed.

• In Level 2, I scroll up to the only accessible node. The game then doesn't tell me how to proceed from there, the "Scroll up to find a node" hint doesn't disappear. There are no workers available to place in the node on the UI, though pressing 1/Q still drops a worker token in my hand. Placing the token in the node doesn't do anything.
• I can exit out of the level and go to Level 3. In Level 3 there is again only one accessible node at the top, though dropping either an engineering or a science token there again doesn't change anything about the game.

I am halfway assuming I need to "start the loop" somehow, but I haven't been able to find a keybind that does that yet (Tried space, p)

EDIT: While I was writing this post,if anyone else is looking for a solution to this: I managed to figure out that pressing 'N' seems to proceed the game. Though there seems to be a limit to how many steps I can take with this. For example, I am not able to fill the innermost node on Level 2 before running out of time.

Hi, I'm getting the sitelock issue on https://impbox.itch.io/encumbered (among several others), using Firefox Nightly. This issue even persists after turning off all privacy extensions and disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection for that page.

EDIT: The solution was to turn off network.http.referer.spoofSource in about:config, but that is not a long-term solution to the problem.
