Can I just unpack the game and cut and paste its entire contents into the original folder when the new version comes out, and keep my progress?
If not, it's fine. Thankfully there's a speedup option that skips literally everything back to where I was at before.
But also, it would be nice if there was an option in the settings to toggle what the skip function actually skips. With seen vs unseen/all text. As sometimes I accidentally push the skip button and have to reload my save to see what I missed...
