Thanks for pointing that out, how odd. I've fixed it now. 

Hi, in the full release (with a proper pause and options menu) we are going to add AZERTY as well as the option to completely customize your buttons the way you want it, It just wasn't in our scope for this demo.  It's certainly on the list to be included as we know how important control customization is. 
The timer won't pause during dialogue scenes, but it should when the game is paused manually. Currently Pause doesn't work properly at all so I expect there to be some issues surround it still. But Thank you for letting us know.
And sure i'll check out your game.
