Thank you for the comprehensive and insightful feedback!
We have updates planned - very soon - to give a control option; absolute (the current one) and isometric (basically W D to move northeast). Any other suggestions are welcome.
The performance thing is interesting. We have been working on optimizations and there are some quirks on different platforms that I haven't been able to solve for. Are you running in the browser or installed?
We are also working on the multiple endings/ environmental story beats to better clarify what is happening and how it is a marriage of magic and sci fi.
Your feedback is super helpful!
