Hiya.
I'm really enjoying the new update and I'm very intrigued by the mystery of our player character.
I don't know if it's the end of the update, but I got to the page regarding the rumours surrounding the soul trial and there wasn't a button to continue. Not sure if it's by design but I'll report it anyways in case it helps out :D
I continued my save from the previous update so maybe it messed around with things like you warned it could.
Either way, good work on the world building so far!
