Happened to me too. I loaded up the game and it opened without issues, but then it couldn't register any input so i closed it, now whenever i open the game it just shuts off immediatly, any way to fix this?
One of the bookshelves in the library back in the cultist town gives you the answer, basically. It's a little riddle of what entities came first into the world.
iirc, it's fae, nature, animals, then man. So in terms in switches, 3, 1, 2, 4. But I could be wrong about the order.
