It has come to my attention that some... players are getting stuck; this is for them.

Some, below average, players are getting stuck when they reach this point in the game:

They stare at the screen and don't know what to do...

Let's review the dialog just before reaching that screen:

Yeah, they mean those portraits:

The ones that you can see here...

All that you need to do to advance is, like they said, click or touch the portraits...

Click:

Touch:

That will show you the inventory:

In the inventory you can equip gear, use items, and check your status; the story will resume after you close the inventory.

Void Divers: Vortex is an interactive visual novel that requires the player's input. You will find turn-based RPG combat, navigation, and stores that require your input.

I hope this help those people getting stuck...

...surreal!
