Aha! Well, I've managed to get into new territory and checked whether Skip works as expected on content I've seen. I appreciate your suggestion, though, and perhaps it may be of use to others.
Have a great week, guys. Can't wait for the next chapter!
OH! And before I forget, Steam will be giving Mac users warnings that Ren'Py won't work on macOS versions newer than Catalina. Given that I'm on Monterey, that's obviously untrue. When you finally get that Mac version up on Steam, you might want to mention the demo that Mac users can safely try for free to prove the Mac sale on Steam is viable. Just a suggestion.
Peace.
