I recognized the game engine this was built in.
For those wanting to play in full screen, simply hit 『Alt+Enter』
For additional controller customization, hit the 『F1』 key. Take care to note that the custom controls are still somewhat limited, so if you are using a non-standard controller a joy2key middle program is still suggested for use here.
The notes section near the end of the manual will be very valuable in survival.
The sequence of 『no,yes,yes』 is referring specifically to the very beginning of your save file. This is tied i'm assuming to your selected difficulty. With the notes being the answers for a easy mode [and why its highly recommended to read them before starting the game]. Answers of 『yes,no,yes』being normal while the answers of 『yes,no,no』being that of a hard mode.
