Volatile
A downloadable game for Windows
Note:
- This is an early-access game, with a lot of content and features still missing. Expect updates to be slow.
- The price of this game will increase as more features are added and the game is polished further.
I'm currently focusing on adding content and features (more options, etc). There's currently only one side mission, as the focus is mostly on finishing the main campaign. Side missions will be added later and they will be able to influence the direction of the main story.

Start the game, my screen "freezes" (as though the game has taken control of the screen but isn't drawing anything at all, not even black) and music plays. If it helps, the game has grabbed the mouse drawing at this point since I have no cursor upon alt-tabbing back out. The game hasn't frozen, however, because it still responds to Alt-F4 albeit a bit slowly.
Thank you for the report. I've updated the game to the latest version, the game still "freezes" as it loads in all the assets, but I've made it so it loads it all on a Loading screen. The moment it is done, it will proceed to the main menu, at which point you should experience minimal loading.
I'm still working on optimizing texture loading.
With regards to the mouse cursor, I disabled cursor locking in the latest version, but I'll look into making sure there's nothing else at play here.
Ah, so it was mostly just perception? OK.
The cursor isn't locked to the game window, it simply isn't drawn once the game was minimized. If I can figure out where the mouse is then it works fine. I now assume this is a side effect of the asset loading and it would otherwise work just fine.
I'll update and look again. Thanks!
Audio,Control,Video Options are not working,
Starting a fresh game, trying to save results in a crash.
It is a pity, i really like the art style, would have wished to play it.
Maybe in the future it gets finished. good luck!

Thanks for reporting this, I thought I got rid of this error and yet it's cropping up again. I've been trying to fix it but it might take longer than I expected.
