Is there a way to install a previous version? Apparently, I saved at exactly the wrong spot at the end and now, with the new version, the save won't load (black screen with rotating anchor). I probably accidentally saved on the spot that said this was the current end of the story and, with the new version, that spot doesn't exist any longer. I habitually delete previous versions of games on itch when a new version is installed to prevent issues and inconveniences but this time, it created one instead.
What I was going to try: load up the game in the previous version and roll back the story a frame or two and resave at that point. Theoretically, that should solve the issue. I no longer *have* the previous version so I can't do it. Looks like I won't have a choice but to start over from scratch since getting a response on here is nigh on impossible.
