ok the containers are a work in progress so dont worry about the errors
u can get the side quests when u go to the 1st house on the left and once inside sit on the 1st chair on the left (because most stuff is locked untill u do the opening
the menu will open up to open tabs like quests ect
there a button below the inventory to access the equipment screen (may put a hotkey on it)
for the jail one ur in it u need to wait untill the gaurd talks to u and leaves before you can leave /unlocks the jail door
ill check into the random location for the gaurds of the teleporting into the map after the gaurd battle
but try the demo again if u have time with these thigns in mine if ur stuck reach out on discord but thanks for the feed back ill be looking into things u mentioned
