A new update has been released addressing the rare progression issue at the beginning of the game.

The opening sequence has been simplified and updated so progression will now automatically continue after a maximum of approximately 7 minutes.

Please make sure your game is fully updated before playing. Steam may occasionally delay an update, so if you are unsure, completely close and restart Steam to force it to check for the latest version.

If you previously experienced this issue, please restart the game after updating and try again.

I have been actively fixing reported bugs and improving progression reliability as issues are discovered. Thank you for your patience and for reporting problems in the discussion area when you encounter them.
