Hi, firstly amazing game. 

Just one question/request. I'm using Itch PC client to manage the download of the new versions. Is it possible to rename the exe in future versions to include version name, since the client doesn't delete old version and with both of them being with the same name it's hard to know which one to use. You can see how it shows up below. Until version 1.00, the newest was on the bottom, now it's on top. I understand this is a client problem and not one of your making, so you can ignore me I won't hold it against you.

Again thanks for the great game.

glad you like the game.

The version is in the game zip file name.

The unpacked exe and other stuff must be installed in a fresh folder each version, so not sure what the exe versioning would do. 

It's auto packaged by renpy so my influence on file naming inside the package is limited unfortunately. I can check whether the packaging script can add a tag to the file name in future.

Thanks for the reply. 

The itch PC client lists all exes found in the game folder. I changed the name of the exe manually and it now shows like this:


Since you don't have much control about it, it's okey.

Thanks again.

EDIT: If I change it manually it no longer wants to start. Changing it back made it work.

Just open the folder location, and delete the old versions :)

I would, but with every new version starting with a new save I keep the old versions around, in case I need to make a new multiverse pod. But thank you, your post reminded me I can change the exe name manually too.
