(just pass out in the cave to leave it)
very strange bug but yeah... that's a pretty hard game-over. No clue what caused it and it would need a full object/map/event reset most likely if reloading doesn't fix it, and no clue what triggered it but I doubt it was glitching out the cave- I've done that lots screwing around and nothing bad ever happened, more likely it's a very specific/rare bug with switching maps in general :/
Thankfully you've seen basically everything scripted at day 47 (I think there was 2 more nights of the same event you should've already seen, very minor)- I would recommend holding off on the game for a while and starting fresh next major update so you have more random events you've not seen before to liven up the experience- and keep backups next time! Saves are stored at apddata>local>votv>saved>savegames
Viewing post in Everything vanished? Also spoilers, maybe.
I mean, I kinda figured this was the end for me lol.
For sure tho next time I decide to pick the game up I'm making backup saves. I absolutely love this game and can't wait for the next major update, hopefully it's sooner rather than later, though I know game development can be hell.
Thank you, even though this really wont be 'resolved' in the sense I wish it could be lol
