also, I'm sorry, I've run into another issue- when going into the forest on day two, if you use the mouse click option to guide the character into the forest instead of use the directional keys, there's a soft-lock that happens (assuming because the character wasn't properly lined up at the right tile) ; _ ; (edit) Soft locking as in, the screen stays black and doesn't progress.
too late on that, but:
