This looks amazing but I'd appreciate an autoplay button or free walk + look, the scrollwheel monorail handcranking makes the exploration rather frustrating.

Agreed. The content is great but UX is terrible so I quit early. Scrolling is not a good way to initiate action and is extremely annoying to deal with.

Arrow keys and page-down don’t work either :/

There’s a set of accessibility options; maybe they could add some alternative navigation methods.

Arrow keys work for me. But it's still strange because when you keep it pressed often nothing happens for a time and then abruptly you move too quickly.
