Hey there - thank you for playing our game!
We understand that it can get frustrating when you die and have to re-do a lot of what you have previously done, and if we had the time we would probably have looked into some sort of automatic save feature - it will probably be a thing in our next game!
The feedback about the story is also something we'll take on. While we meant for the story to be a bit of an extra thing on the side, it's good to hear that people are interested in more of it!
