On Steamdeck- if I go into the menu and controller setup, I can’t exit out of that screen back to menu.

[sadburreeto]

My game froze, and I had to close it through steam. Now when I try to start the game, it never actually loads, it just displays as not responding forever. I have tried uninstalling the game, deleting the save file, restarting my computer, and nothing has worked.

[MadameHardy]

Is there any plan to add mouse support? When a button's on the right side of the screen, navigating with keyboard is tedious as all getout.

I almost just reported this as a bug.

[Zatanna]

Also submitted through report form, but the keybinding page buttons are not labeled. For anyone trying to rebind, save on the top left hand button, and then apply on the next page. It's possible there is an apply button on the page itself, but it's just all listed as 'default'.

[Maya Naise]

The rebinding page just says "default" everywhere and I have no clue how to exit.

Exit by using the very first "default" button on the top left.

For anyone having troubles with the control rebinding screen not resetting correctly, here is a screenshot showing the default configuration for reference:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041702578

[Dtime35]

Any one else having a message bubble pop up with just three dots ... in it and then just go a way 1 second later? It keeps doing this to me.

EDIT:
The issue seems to be two conflicting events. Where one was supposed to auto run the moment I left my house and the other was an upgrade the house event. The upgrade event started, since I started it, but the moment the cutscene started for it the other event tried to load since I was now outside.

I went fishing and my inventory was full; so the fish didn't even up in my inventory (understandably) however, when I go to donate fish; they are on the list and any time I fish and receive a fish of a certain kind, it doesn't go into my inventory but I think it is being added to the original fish type in that was not in the inventory when it was full.

TLDR: Inventory overloads and stacks invisible items

[mpnt1997]

When ever I load the game it is appearing as a mirrored screen, and I can't see the top half of the screen due to this effect

[Cairn.L]

There is a white kitten in Birch Forest near the entrance, every time I pet him/her, it can't follow me because it is stuck. Please save that kitten!

[valiantpoetryshark]

I have gone through 4 hearts trying to get paper from tree stumps. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? I feel like that's a bit much.

You have to tap A when it’s at the bottom dark green circle and hold it until it’s at the next circle like 3/4 the way up and then let go
It’s not the most intuitive

Left side on the inventory screen you can scroll down. There is no "full" inventory.

[sosocxk222]

I got stuck on the second floor of the ??? building, unable to enter the ventilation duct, and the enemies had no effect on me, so I couldn't continue the game.
