Hello!,
First of all thank you very much for trying it out!
Yes soft/hard locking is a possibility with the current build (sorry).
I figured it happens early on enough that it wouldn't matter for the jam version, so people could just start over and try not to spend all their money :D, I fully understand it sucks and is not ideal at all, but I just simply ran out of time and energy on my end.
Again I really appreciate you taking the time to play and leaving feedback! Anymore feedback you have is most welcome as well!
Hope you enjoy your time with it.
-Jay
