After talking to the girl a 2nd time she joins me but then the game softlocks because I can't change the area or open menu without getting a now loading message into :
"Loading Error
Failed to load: img/characters/%24theangel.png"
Windows10 64bit via the itchio client.
After that I downloaded the windows zip from the website to check files but they were the same. It seems to be working now after renaming the "$theangel.png" file into the needed "%24theangel.png". Actually doing that made the file missing when loading a savefile from the start screen. I copied the angel sprite image now to have both required filenames in the folder.
I let you know if I meet any more issues.
