there needs no save.
when chapter 9 is completed, the game creates a persitent file on your pc.
when you start chapter 10 the game looks for this persitent file. You need to click new game.
If you ever modded the game or used a version which is not from itch.io it can end up in an error.
I installed both chapters via Itch app on Linux and while there is a persitent file from the end of chapter 9 in the save folder it seems like chapter 10 just ignores it. I've tried copying the persistent file into the chapter 10 save folder but it still isn't recognised. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Hey, we talked a little on Discord the other day, you helped me understand the file structure problem I was having using Linux.
I've managed to solve the problem, but it broke on second boot of the game. I solved it again, and everything should be good to go bar one little thing - the player is now named None and, presumably, the Companion Name is also lost. Would a small update that allows changing the name from the preference menu or a bug fix menu be easy? It's a really unimportant problem that affects approximately one person, so I'd advise against it.
Thanks again for the help!
