How to fix it
- Open Windows Settings and navigate to Time & Language → Language & Region.
- Locate the Regional format dropdown.
- Change the regional format from your current setting to Japan or China.
- Close the Settings window and restart the demo.
- Launch the game again; the demo should now progress past the stuck memory scene and the menu buttons should be clickable.
If it still doesn't work
- Verify that the regional format change was applied correctly and that you have restarted the demo after the change.
- Check for any recent updates from the developer that might address the issue; the developer has indicated a fix has been implemented, but it may not be reflected in your current version.
- If the demo continues to freeze or refuse to load saves, consider reinstalling the demo after setting the regional format, then launch it again.
- Report the persistent problem to the developer with details of your system and the steps you have already taken.
