It wouldn't exactly prevent the progress loss, but you could start a new game and put in the character stats and money.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to use the old saves but I'm not sure myself
Thanks for the quick reply and yes, I am on computer.
Thanks for the tip!
And would it be possible for me to move the save file into the itch app save folder?
If I update to a newer version, will I be able to keep my saves?
I generally delete the older version files, but since this game has such a large amount of content, I would rather not do that.
I just have the demo music up to max on my computer cause its just that good
