Did you load a previous save or start fresh with new game?
If it's the former, you must start from a new game. Old saves are not viable on this new release (at all).
If it's the latter, make sure that you don't have any old files related to Pario on your computer (I.E: the OG demo). That could be causing conflicts.
If it's neither, please let me know so I can bookmark this problem for future investigation.
