Uhm... could it be you mixed things up a bit? I have 2.7 from itch and my last saves are from february 5th and yes, so far I've only consumed the (excellent) free version.

Ah, yeah, I'm aware of the save file transfer, that wasn't what I meant. I already had v2.7, played it and then downloaded it again and noticed the same version number, so I went to check when I last played.
So, TL:DR I'm very certain you had released v2.7 somewhen around late January/early February 2024 and are now releasing it again.
