I just wiped out 2 hours of my save, because my character didnt want to sleep, and the ESC menu didnt opened... 

And I've been falling to the ground almost every 10 seconds for these 2 hours. I walked around the entire base, walked outside, nothing changed ... In the end, it infuriated me and I got tired of it, let you make the game normal first, then we can play.  A terrible experience, a pity for the time spent.

But this game is literally in development. It's not even a demo, it's still an alpha version. Wait for the release if you don't like something, it won’t happen soon.

watching my friend stream the game on discord and hes also been stuck in an event the past 30 minutes unable to do anything

im trying to look for any way to help out but im afraid hes just gonna have to bite the bullet and restart the game

I had the same thing. I re-logged in, but nothing changed. It's just a stupid event. Stock up on energy drinks.
