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.
