No problem in expressing your opinion, you didn't sound mean. The graphical change was heavily criticized and people explained their reasons to me. I understood why I received all this criticism, so I decided to take a step back and stay true to the original art style, and I'm happy with this choice. I'm really sorry that you preferred the other style, but unfortunately it will only be present in the final game in a minimal way, and there won't be detailed faces as they were the most criticized aspect
Unfortunately, I'm afraid not :( the current version of game maker I’m using doesn't support 32-bit devices. Older versions were compatible, but I had to update because they caused issues with more recent PCs
Previous saves are intentionally not compatible with version 0.6, as it has a different progression that would be "spoiled" by having completed save files. If you really want to do that, you can copy the contents of the "NO_SKIN_ver04" folder (located in C:/Users/<User Name>/AppData/Local/) into the "NO_SKIN_ver06" folder (in the same location)
I've already shown some weapons other than guns and blades that will be in the full game. For now, I prefer not to reveal whether there will be other playable characters!
Luna was designed to be one of the last things you unlock in the current version of the game. I liked the idea of allowing players to experiment freely and discover all the remaining content without too much frustration. It's meant to be a sort of "god mode"
Thank you for your feedback! Cigarettes might seem like a terrible item, but they can be obtained in large quantities from a very weak enemy. Plus, they can be used to escape from bosses or to deal damage thanks to an upgrade. I'm currently testing if they need a slight buff
-The cult robe may seem useless, but it actually hides a very unique interaction! -Placing dagger no.48 in the third area probably weakened it a bit too much. It will definitely be buffed/the game will be balanced to make it an interesting choice again
Oh, this bug should already be fixed! If you downloaded the game a while ago, just re-download it to fix the bug. Otherwise, I might have forgotten to upload the updated version here on itch
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, the inventory becomes quite awkward when you have many items. It's possible to scroll quickly by holding up/down but it still feels a bit awkward. I don't like the idea of having items sorted/stacked because there are mechanics that rely on the order of items in the inventory. I'll try to come up with something
The next update will be the 1.0 release, which is why it's taking longer than usual. There's no official release date yet, but it's planned for early 2025. I'm really glad you've enjoyed the game so far and I hope you'll like the final version as well!
Thank you for your review! The diary pages after Rugs are just placeholders ofc. I hope that the final version will fix the issues you pointed out, as I’m already working on things like the lack of interesting elements in the first run and the unexpected events
The ability to gain mutations is tied to Root's gun, if you switch ranged weapon the ability is lost. If this isn't the case let me know and I'll check for any bugs
Sorry to hear that! If you had to start over, it seems like the save file got deleted, though I'm not sure what could have caused it. Thanks for reporting it, and I’m really sorry you had to start again from beginning
Here's an answer I gave to a similar question: "Previous saves are intentionally not compatible with version 0.6, as it has a different progression that would be "spoiled" by having completed save files. If you really want to use your old saves in 0.6, you can copy the contents of the "NO_SKIN_ver04" folder(located in C:/Users/<User Name>/AppData/Local/) into the "NO_SKIN_ver06" folder(in the same location)"
Characters always say the same thing during the same battle because they have different dialogue when you encounter them later. I really like the idea that characters provide new information the next time you meet them, and that it's not possible to read all the dialogue in the first encounter. In addition, there are special situations that can trigger different dialogues. However, thank you for your feedback! I hope to create as many dialogues as possible for the individual enemies

Thank you for your kind words! I can't spoil too much but that style was originally intended for something different, so it will be in the game in one way or another
Can't spoil anything, but the acquired actions will probably work like this in the future: once unlocked, they won't be forgotten if you return to a previous area
As you said, I believe this mechanic offers more strategic depth:
-the bonuses (attack and accuracy) you get for weapons are permanent and stay even if you change weapons
-having to switch weapons creates a perfect risk/reward situation: is it worth getting a new effect or higher attack in exchange for losing some accuracy or maybe an interesting effect?
That said, I find the idea of weapon switching interesting, and I'm sorry you found it frustrating. Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for your feedback! Right now, the moon shows the upgrades even after they've all been purchased to remind the player of the additions they've unlocked. I thought it would be strange to never show the list again. Additionally, an option to enable/disable upgrades will likely be added. I understand that right now it’s a bit annoying to go through that screen at the start of every new run
