Update 18th January (2 updates)

We've made a quick update to fix the bug in the tutorial where text was obscuring the game.

Bug fix: the game now leaves the game paused in certain tutorial boxes even if you pause and unpause manually, so that you can progress the tutorial - this should fix the issue reported with the switching characters tutorial.
Turns out that problem was more complex than we thought - especially in German! So there's a second fix live now.

Fixed problem with German character swap tutorial box not disappearing
Volume curve for effects and music is now more "natural" (half on the slider sounds more like half the volume)
Narration is now changed by the sound effect volume and not the music volume
