Not exactly sure why, but I've tried a few times now, and as soon as I finish the word "aree"(I think) the game freezes for a second or two and crashes.
As a second data point, this also happens to me. The freeze occurs on the "So what about my proposing exile?" page, always after you type the space after the word "accept".
(having lots of fun with the game myself as well!)
Still crashes for me. Without error screen this time. Not sure at which exact point. But again in the vicinity of him discussing why he should accept exile.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think this game has ever been updated - Hofmeier had some computer issues a while ago before the first update and it was only recently that he managed to work on it again.
