Also, DF makes an effort to make the game at least minimally playable on a variety of systems e.g. adjustable resolution of the game window, tileset support and so on, Aurora is basically a big old "screw you" to anyone who needs text or DPI scaling (which I would suggest is most people using a QHD or higher resolution display). Important UI elements get pushed off-screen, and the dev outright refuses to consider fixing it.
It is understandable enough given it's a personal passion project that they've happened to make public, works fine on the devs own system, and as I understand properly handling windows scaling is a LOT of work, but it does make it very frustrating to see this tantalising game but not being able to play it without non-trivial amounts of screwing around.
