there needs no save. when chapter 9 is completed, the game creates a persitent file on your pc. when you start chapter 10 the game looks for this persitent file. You need to click new game. If you ever modded the game or used a version which is not from itch.io it can end up in an error.
One is not better than the other, would you like to make a donation? Do itch.io if you are someone who forgets their subscription. You want to support the development of the game monthly? Patreon. In the end, it doesn't matter, the game is free and will remain free. I am very grateful for any support, no matter where it comes from.
Its already done, but unfortunately there are still some organizational things i need to do and i have to fight and win against my slow internet connection before i can publish it.
First time i hear that, and i use microsoft defender myself on some of my devices. You can add the game as an exception, but you dont have to if you feel unsafe about it.
