I just logged in, specifically to address these same issues, but found out you already specified most of them.
-no Volume settings,
-no tutorial explaining anything,
-quests impossible to complete,
-day and night cycle should be locked during tutorial at least, i for one spend 20 minutes with this damn game in focus for the clock to reach day again only to find out the game was soft-locked because of the next issue...
-cats vanishing to never reappear
-running / movement needs work (why not just infinite sprint? it's bad enough as is, without intentional timestalling to prolong the game etc)
-no inventory
-If you are going to put the looking glass for the one cat quest, why not do it for the other cat quest with the fish as well?
Also;
-fix the map location, the arrow is displayed wrongly, making you appear in the wrong location.
-and after you fish, you'll stay locked to the same rotation you reeled in a fish at, making it so you're running sideways.
i can NOT advise you to play the current 'demo' without any content or playability at this time, and at this rate it's going to take years to get past the first soft locking part.
Great example of "Looks can be deceiving"
That and all of the descriptions given which clearly aren't in the link given out...
It's more of a proof of concept at this point, but it should be labeled that as well at the very least.
In short:'Game looks great, but is a huge let down for the time being'
Hope it gets better in the future, but there is a lot of work to be done.
