Hiya! ^^ Thank you so much for the lovely and honest review!! (I'm also happy to see that you noticed the sticky note secret >:3c) ♡
I wasn't aware of the incorrect spelling of "shrugging", but it's now been fixed and ready for the next update. So thank you for bringing it to my attention! As for the save files, Ren'Py stores them in a separate folder from 14DWY (usually in "%APPDATA%/RenPy/14DaysWithYou" for PC and "~/Library/RenPy/14DaysWithYou" for Mac), which you can freely delete (or move to your desktop if you want to be safe)!
As for the updates coming out very sporadically, there's unfortunately very little I can do about it ^^; I'm a full-time student with a part-time job and art as my main hobby, so 14DWY has always been a fun little passion project for me. I had no idea that it would become this popular, and had I known, I definitely would've done things differently and planned a better schedule. But I genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience!
Happy New Year and I hope 2024 will be kind to you ^^
