Posted this already in another thread, but...I e-mailed Amanita yesterday to ask about this issue. I got a response today:
current W8 version is primarily meant to be played on W8 touch devices. Microsoft asked for this. The fact that it works also with a mouse is rather a bonus. Well, maybe it is a bit confusing bonus right now.
But lets break some news here - we are preparing an update adding the full mouse support including all these features like cursor changes and so on. But it will take a while.
It will be an update so it's free of charge for all who already bought it.
Makes sense to me about it being a bonus that the Windows 8 version works with the mouse.
Anyway, this is good news about the update.

Interesting & rather annoying to say the least that Microsoft specifically required that it be only 'touch' friendly. IOW although they sold Win 8 as just as usable on laptops & desktops without touch - in fact as an even better OS for them than previous Win OS's... but are now putting app's that can only run on Win 8.1 in the store & more & more 'touch' only app's... kind of obvious, & very bad business practise IMO, that MS is going for the next big push of trying to make Windows users buy their touch tablets & phones.

I did notice that MS Customer Support asked what kind of problems was I encountering with the game on my
phone. I also notice they've 'modified' the game description in their Store in the past day or so to: "The gameplay features classic point and click (touch) adventure,"... it didn't have that "(touch)" qualifier in it before. Deceptive???

I hope Amanita & other developers realize & factor in to their future projects the fact that 'touch' is definitely not easily usable for disabled users, quite the opposite in fact, no matter what Microsoft demands.

Anyway, I gave up on waiting for an update or patch & uninstalled & MS is giving me a refund.
Still love the game & will be buying the Android version of it instead. Many thanks for the help, Lamkin.
