I really liked this game due to the branching paths, but save/load doesn't work properly!
It seems to be working now!
But I'm seeing that other people's RPG maker saves are showing up now on the save file, maybe that was causing the issue?
Like I was playing this other game ( https://lichtel.itch.io/japan-to-go-please ) saved a few times, and the saves from the other game are now showing up in your game? I can't load them... but my guess is the bug might have had something to do with your save files being saved in a shared RPG Maker directory, leading to issues.
