Pre-Alpha Version 0.202

Thanks for all the feedback and bug reports so far! I didn't expect the game to get that many eyes on it to be quite honest, it even showed up one the itch frontpage. So here's a quick patch to iron out some of the quirks that have been discovered. There where no major crash issues reported, but a few softlocks have been fixed. There is also an elusive save game bug that I still need to reproduce. I added a save_log system in order to get to get the bottom of this. If you have issues with missing items after re-launching the game please send me your save_log.txt.
