No, the issue seemed to be that the game isn't registering my clicks at all. I have to force-close the game, and when I boot it back up and click through the dialogue, it still doesn't register the clicks I make on the tiles.
I think I found the issue. Can you check out version 0.4c and tell me if the bug is still present? Please start a new save file for this, since the bug was in the save file creation.
It works! Started a new save in the c version and chose the same starting companion, and everything seemed to have appeared properly. I still have the b version's save file if you need it as well.
