No "PAUSE" function? Really?

[miteymitey]

I've watched numerous gameplay videos for Cold Waters and was on the verge of buying the game when, during a campaign, one of the streaming players noted "They need a Pause button in this game". I downloaded the Reference Guide and, sure enough, there is no "Pause" function shown. While I can't say I've played every PC game ever put on the market, I've played a lot of them and I've never seen a single player vs AI game that didn't have a Pause function. While I suppose there a few people in this world who are glued to their monitors and keyboards 24/7, most of us have to go to the john periodically, need to get a drink or bite to eat ever once in a while, need to respond to a phone call or text every now and again and/or, heaven forbid, even communicate with other human beings during the course of a game. Am I, and other folks, missing something here? While Cold Waters seems to be a very good game, as far as I'm concerned, if there's no way to pause the game, that's a deal breaker.
