Hello again! I know that some players are unable to load old saves from Early Access. There are two solutions! A simple solution: start a new game and scroll to where you left off using the quick skip feature (press the CTRL key, but first enable the "Skip Text" option in the game settings). A slightly more complex solution: To help players facing this issue, I have created a separate branch of the game called "beta_old_saves_fixes Try this build to fix saves from Early Access." You can update the game to this version, and your old saves should work. At the same time, we avoid the risk of breaking the game for new players experiencing it for the first time. If something goes wrong, you can always revert to the main version.

How to switch to the new test build of the game:

1. Open your game library. 2. Right-click on the game (in the list or on the image). 3. Select "Properties". 4. In the pop-up window, go to the "Betas" section. 5. In the drop-down menu, select "beta_old_saves_fixes Try this build to fix saves from Early Access." 6. If this option is not in the list, restart Steam and repeat the steps up to step 5 the required option should appear. 7. Wait for the game update to complete. The problem is quite complex, but it seems I managed to fix it thanks to the saves provided by players. However, I say "seems" because I worry that this solution might lead to new problems for other players. By fixing one issue, I risk creating ten new ones. Additionally, this build should fix the issue with the secret gallery. Some players reported that after finding the logs, the opened slots would become closed again after some time. Please, if you encounter the described issues, use the test branch. If the problem with saves and/or logs is resolved, please comment on this news. If the problem remains, let us know as well. If everything is fine, we will make this build the main version of the game.
