I'm aware my response is very late, but I just read through it myself and I think I can answer your question.

The object of the game is to make an interesting story. There is no winning. This is a roleplaying game, and not all of them have a specified win condition. Take D&D for example, one of the biggest roleplaying games. There is no win condition specified in the books. There are simply rules for creating a character and how to handle certain situations (like combat). The goal of the game though is simply to tell a story and have fun while doing so with a structured ruleset so that everyone can be on basically the same page.

Honestly, even in the roleplaying games I've played before where there is a win condition, most of the time the win condition is pushed to the side and we don't really care who wins. We still track it, it's still part of the game, but if we actively tried to win then the game would become extremely boring. It's a lot more fun when you use win conditions as guidelines for your actions, but not the goal of the game.

Ach, I so badly want to play this. I intend to major in microbiology and I find the concepts of this game absolutely fascinating, but I can't get it to run for more than a couple of minutes at a time without crashing ;(

Log files here, I really hope this becomes functional soon! I am running on a Windows 8 PC.

So, I was getting increasingly frustrated with how it seems that sometimes I would block and sometimes I would get sheared in half and sometimes I'd be stunned when I blocked and sometimes I could counterattack immediately, so I decided that instead of getting pissed off even more I would experiment and find the pattern.

This bug happened to me on level 1 in chapter 1, insane difficulty. I was seeing why I could counterattack sometimes and why I couldn't and etc. when I found that sometimes when I block a sword strike it would completely prevent me from attacking at all, even after I recovered. I would run around for many seconds after blocking spamming left click with my character doing nothing. After a bit of testing, it seems that this happens EVERY TIME I dash with the "primitive" jetpack while in the stun animation.

Summary of the steps I believe that create the problem: Get stunned while blocking, use jetpack without jetpack upgrade, then you should be attack frozen.
