Hi! Thanks so much for the feed back. We are really happy with the art style and characters aswell, glad you liked it!
There should be a saved state, I think you have to quit to the menu for it to save. (I’m just the artist so would have to confirm lol)
The game is indeed very dialog heavy, the full game will feature sound effects.
A linux port is a possibility for the full game, although not a priority unfortunately.
