I downloaded the demo off Itch, and when I got to the "do the runes" thing, the explainer text is all piled up over the tray with the runes. It's in the way so I can't grab the correct runes, the game will not let anything happen until I do it right, and there is no way to access the options menu or otherwise exit. So it's a soft lock.
I will second the things about "do not make the menu settings move" and "can we get a text speed option," and also add in "we need a rewind or log if possible."
Here's a screenshot for what I mean about the broken tray, which I had to wait a while to get because the tutorial text scrolls on slowly and you can't speed it up or rewind it.
