Hehe, thank you so much for the comment and feedback! There are definitely parts with that character that I wish I'd written differently now ... ah, hindsight. Glad you're enjoying it, though!

Hi! This tool is really amazing. I'm trying to run it as an editor, and while the Note function seems to work okay, clicking the Typo button on the overlay gives me this error:
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_other.rpy", line 578, in __call__
rv = self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
File "game/renedit/renedit/renedit_functions.rpy", line 12, in add_typo
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str```
I'm using Ren'Py 8.0.3, so IDK if that would be the reason? Anyway, I can still use the Note function so I'm not too worried, but I thought I'd let you know. Thank you for making this, it's exactly what I needed!
Thanks for the reports! That's a known bug we're trying to hunt down, so that's a huge help. If you're curious, it's an error when the game tries to reset all its variables to let you start fresh - it goes too far and erases some important data the game needs to function properly. You'd think that'd be an easy fix, but it's being surprisingly evasive.
Again, thank you! We'll keep working on it!
Ah, yeah, "ambitious" is definitely the word when it comes to the flags. It's odd that you're getting that level of repetition though - I suspect something's gone wrong that's caused a knock-on effect.
If you like, you can email contact@spiderlilystudios.com with the "retrace.save" file you'll find in your install directory (usually C:/Users/[your name]/AppData/retrace) and I can attempt to repair the save file for you, otherwise, judicious use of "New Game" and the fast forward function may be in order. I'm really sorry about this! It's been a year and a half since release and I'm still finding new ways the variables can interact to break everything. Even so, I'm glad you're finding it interesting!
The achievements can be a little bit finicky! One is for seeing all the special bad ends, one's for "retracing to the beginning" (I believe that's the one that's most likely to break), and then the two endings.
Unfortunately, yes, starting again means losing progress. At least there's text fast-forward...? ^^;
I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! I'm sorry this has happened! Could you do me a favour and email contact@spiderlilystudios.com with your save file? Owen's room locking has happened once before so I'd like to hunt it down... And it seems like you have more endings than the game thinks you do, which has happened to a few other people. I think I'm close to solving it, so you'd really be doing me a favour ^^; It's in C:/Users/[yourname]/AppData/Local/retrace. Just grab those files and send them my way and I'll get it fixed up for you! So sorry!
(WARNING: SPOILERS)
Not at all! Uh, okay, let's see...For both of them you'll probably need to start Mia's path from the very beginning (from the bus stop) and leave the note in the cell. (If you've got the right note, Freya will mention a trap, but if you already have Lucas' end you should be fine. If not, try to remember any other place you've seen that symbol.) From there follow the usual Hopeless end steps and you should get Claire's end.
As for Miowen, which key were you missing?
Ah, I'm so sorry!
If you look in your computer files C:/Users/[name]/AppData/Local/Retrace, you should find a file called retrace.save. If you email it to contact@spiderlilystudios.com, I should hopefully be able to repair the file for you. If you could include any information on what you already saw when the bug happened that would be really helpful as well.
It's definitely possible that there's a glitch =n=; If you look in C:/Users/[name]/AppData/Local/Retrace (or similar...Doing that off the top of my head), you should find a file called retrace.save. If you email that to contact@spiderlilystudios.com, I can check if something's gone wrong with the variables internally.
That said, if all the gems are lit up, your next step *should* be to check the middle pedestal...
I'm glad you're enjoying it, though! Thank you for playing! ^u^
