No — that's the game working. Polites writes in real time. Sometimes he goes quiet to think; sometimes he steps away to do something. You'll see slow pulsing dots when he's composing, and a short note when he's away. If a chapter ends, he may be gone longer — close the app, and he'll reach you when he can.

Only if you want the full real-time experience. Open the menu (the gear in the corner) and turn off Real-time pacing to read straight through without the long waits.

In a few tense moments, Polites needs an answer quickly. If you don't reply in time, he decides on his own — and lives with it. Your silence is part of the story, not a mistake.

Yes. Open the menu and choose Begin again. You'll confirm, then the story restarts. There's more than one way it can end, so a second voyage is worth taking.

Ocean ambience — no music, by design. Toggle it in the menu. The game is best with headphones, somewhere quiet.

Almost certainly. The Nobody branches on how you treat Polites — different choices lead to different moments and different endings. Your version of the voyage is yours.
