Yeah I have no idea why the saving issue is an issue at all, but I'll try and look into it for certain!
The health issue might be moreso due to the blocked pathways (it's a bug, not a feature) as each path has it's own eases and difficulties due to the arrangement of events ^^7
As for the Dread Knight, they're intended to be non-binary and are also meant to be visually ambiguous. I might consider the idea, but considering they're wearing a (busted) suit of armour, it might not affect much anyways even if I gave them some? owo
as stated above, the blocked paths are a bug, and not a feature, and once I get to releasing the first update, they'll be fixed ^^
I'm glad you're interested! and apologies for all the bugs ^^;
