Repeated intro

Hello Steam, The past week has been interesting because our Discord community gave us a lot of feedback on the first chapter. To be honest, we should have done this earlier. We strive to keep our egos in check when we design the game, but it is the players who are truly objective, and they helped us see some flaws with the UX that we missed. Then again, Lightstep Chronicles is the first game of this caliber that we're making, and it took us a lot of time to optimize even the first chapter. Had it had any bugs or glitches when we sent it out, we'd be hearing about those instead of design issues, and the latter is more valuable feedback.
