Thank you so much, I'm really glad you like it! I'm extremely sorry about the softlock- I just finished uploading a new build which should fix the issue (and is fully compatible with your current save file(s)). Again, I'm so sorry for the issue and I'm very thankful you let me know! ^^'
I actually did not consciously reference Conan >_> but I'm very interested to hear what connection you found if you'd want to share!
