Did you restore power to the generator in the Barrens?

Yes, that is how I found out about the document in the first place.

I'm going to try running the game directly, rather than through itch.io's launcher, and see how that works out.

It looks like by running the game directly and not through itch.io's launcher, I was able to get it working. The game restart, actually, and this time instead of having my default name be like, "itch.ioplayer456543" or whatever, it was my name on my computer. But yeah, I think it's just that running it though itch.io's launcher made it get confused about something. I guess I kinda answered my own question, in that case. Thank you, though!!

I mainly had to ask because in the past there's been players who try to find the document before powering on the barrens due to reading a guide while playing, and skipping over the part where they turn on the power and talk to the PC in the outpost.

I noticed that running some games through itch.io launcher creates a new user profile on the computer with a name like "itch-player-1ee23456". If loaded with itch.io launcher, OneShot seems to use this profile instead of the usual one and therefore creates the document in the folder "C:\Users\itch-player-1ee23456\Documents".

I guess that, if run directly with the .exe, the game uses the usual profile and creates the document in the expected "Documents" folder.
