Okay, so I'm guessing that the game files aren't saved in the folder it comes with. Cuz I just deleted the entire folder, erased the recyling bin, re-downloaded it wholesale, and yet for some strange reason... all of my saves are still there.
Which also means that Gunnar refusing to interact with me is also still there, despite restarting.
I really think that this game needs a "Nuke" button or something, cuz this is starting to upset me. Apparently I can't get a clean install on this computer.
