Seems like it is still crashing, yes. I'm using the game's built-in update rather than re-downloading the .exe though. Might not be properly overwriting something?
You should use the itch.io app for updates or re-downloading it from the website manually. The built-in updater was giving a lot of issues and we removed it from the game.

The totem for it is coloured in, at least. Not sure if that means the game thinks I've beaten it or that shows I've just found the boss.
Coloured seems like you found where it is, when you destroy the monster you should see the totem broken on the menu as well

As for the missing totem, it was in a folder flagged so it'd only show up if "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked. That'd explain why it wouldn't show up in Explorer searches.
We will try to avoid creating totems in those kind of folders!

It seems like the final totem is impossible for me to reach. At room depth 4 it gave me 14 doors, except this folder has 96 subfolders and the subfolder leading to the totem wasn't one of the 14 chosen. Maybe I'm missing something but I'm certain I've triple checked all the door names and none lead to what's listed in the totems file.

Additional observations:

1) The game will capture your keyboard input even when the game isn't focused. This primarily is of annoyance as it wastes MP when I tab out to type to someone and need to capitalize anything.

2) Monsters outside the map:

3) The top platform here doesn't really seem to let you enter it from the side, except then I somehow found a way to get on top of it. The end result was that I wound up wedged there and couldn't move.

4) What I thought was a cephalopod was actually a spider. Turns out the missing background initially (from the older version) made it hard to tell. This boss isn't hard but rather tedious. At 20HP per spider and 2000 HP, this means killing 101 spiders to bring it down.

5) Is that computer to the far left of the sword and shield boss for anything? I noticed lots of hidden areas on that map but no way to get over to the PC

6) Are there any plans to make a use for AP after you get all abilities and buy all of the spells?

7) Spelling mistakes I've notice:

Flanberge -> Flamberge
Tucan -> Toucan
Requiremets -> Requirements
Quality Browtinted Hood -> Quality Brown-tinted Hood
Advanced Violetinted Hood -> Advanced Violet-tinted Hood

8) It's possible to have zero stamina and be unable to equip a shield

Hello there, thanks again for your excellent feedback. I'm preparing a patch for many of those issues but our top priority right now is getting the mac version running. The computer thing is a debug object that should not be visible 🙈

We are looking into a way of making the totem spawning places better

Thanks again!

No worries, take your time. In the meanwhile, is there a way to change the totem location? Might've been because I had the game open (though I do think I tried a few times with it closed) but the totem path seemed to always revert if modified. That makes me think it's built into the save then, except that final totem already had its path change once from being in the Windows directory to somewhere else.

Might've happened when I revived myself after accidentally killing myself when I equipped the "suicide" shield? There was a nice shield with -30 HP as part of it, which resulted in me dying due to having either 0 or negative HP. Perhaps health should have a lower limit of 1?

Edit: Fixed it by manually putting myself into the missing subfolder, which contained the subfolder with the boss. I confirmed that I wasn't going insane as the rooms explored count didn't increase when I exited it.

Second edit: Beat the game. Final boss was a bit of a let down strategy-wise. Might be harder without abusing levitate? When I went back to continue off with my save, things were extremely zoomed out. I could see NPCs being drop activated as a result. Had to wait for the zoom-in to occur to resolve things.

Third edit: Another set of spelling corrections/thoughts

Kyuudoo -> Kyudo or Kyuudou
Roonin -> Ronin or Rounin (though Ronin is far more common)
Paper Blue mage -> Paper Blue Mage
Croch -> Croach? (Avoids it being pronounced like crotch, at least)
Big blobl -> Big Blobl
Big Room -> BigRoom (To be like other enemies like FireFlame, AmBush, etc)
