EDIT Hi everyone! Sorry about this. It looks like this update caused an issue for folks who picked "wait forever" on the old build and then downloaded the patch afterwards. You can fix the issue by doing the following:
Disable Steam Cloud for the game.
Go to \game\saves. Delete gimmick-LT1.save and quick-1-LT1.save files, if present.
Go to %AppData%\RenPy\SlaythePrincess-1651597024 (windows); HOME/Library/RenPy/SlaythePrincess-1651597024 (Mac);
Linux: $HOME/.renpy/SlaythePrincess-1651597024 (Linux)
And do the same as above.
That should be it
Although I'm not sure how it behaves on transition between patches
It also could be quick-1-LT1.save - delete it too if present.
If this leads to an error screen, you can drop this save file into your saves file and reboot the game. After it boots, you should be save to load and continue on your previous saves.

Extremely sorry about this issue! But these steps should resolve the problem and allow you to continue without losing progress.
Improved logic for [Wait Forever] crash to desktop. It now uses a specialized save slot so it won't write over any quick-saves, and has fail-safes in place to prevent a rare edge case caused by manually loading an old save generated by the fake crash.
Warning: this game contains occasional flashing images. If this poses a health risk to you, please proceed with caution.
You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.
You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.
She will do everything in her power to stop you. She'll charm, and she'll lie, and she'll promise you the world, and if you let her, she'll kill you a dozen times over. You can't let that happen. Don't forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.
... don't you trust me?
Features
A princess. She's very bad and you have to get rid of her for all our sakes.
No, the Princess isn't a cosmic horror. She's just an ordinary human Princess, and you can definitely slay her as long as you put your mind to it.
Don't even think about trying to romance her. It won't end well for you.
Hopefully you won't die. But if you do, you'll die a lot. Be careful and stay focused on the task at hand!
Time loopsNo time loops. Don't be ridiculous. Time is a strictly linear concept and it certainly doesn't "loop," whatever that's supposed to mean.
A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both your build and how the story unfolds.
A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.
Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.
Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel/dating sim with dramatic branching, light RPG elements, and hand-penciled art.
