"Canal and Factories", 1955 is a scene from Runcorn and Widnes. To me, the layout highlights how industry affected the "landscape" of the North, figuratively and literally. Lowry's art helped me understand the atmosphere of that time and place. store.steampowered.com/app/3931650/... #indiegame

L S Lowry was an English artist from Lancashire, known for his striking depictions of industry in the North. I had already been inspired by Lowry's work during development, so it was surreal to happen upon copy in person.
This piece, 'Going To Work' shows a factory in Manchester in 1943. #history

All points noted, thank you. The skip function has been tweaked a lot, so it's no trouble to try some new balancing!

Lovely, much appreciated 👍
There is actually a skip function in the cutscenes which I should signpost better, maybe needs some tweaks too.

Have you tried reinstalling?

Aha, you've found an elusive error, sorry about that. Restarting the tutorial could work, but the last person to report this kept having the same issue. I've not been able to replicate it so far.

Do you know your PC's specifications? Anything unusual?

Thanks for reporting, any details appreciated.
