sadly the new game button won't work for me :(
Yeah, it seems this may be a bug in Godot itself. I have fixed the issue here: https://wolfgangsenff.itch.io/dogtective-pi-fixed (Same build, just had to change one of the export settings.)
I've done so multiple times for this jam, but I do know the hesitation. But working on these games so much, it doesn't make sense to have a large part of the content you and your team painstakingly created not be playable.
Like, I did not see anybody who had a cutscene playing in their title screen, so it's clear you guys loved this project.
