Having to use the mouse to move, enter to advance dialogue, tab for notes and R for viewing the other world makes even the first couple of minutes of gameplay painful. It means needing to move one hand across the entire keyboard just to play the game, which honestly is quite annoying.

Yeah that's entirely fair, this was made as a University project but if we had more time we would have probably reworked the controls to be more ergonomic. And as for the manually advancing dialogue, it originally was an automatic system, but we were actually recommended in playtesting to make it manual haha.
