Hi, thanks for playing the game! And thanks for liking the style! I'm quite happy that many people are liking it.
As for the bug, I’ll definitely look into that to make sure it's working as intended. While i can't update the game for this game jam, this feedback will help me to polish my future games! Just some context on those mechanics in case it helps: saved items should be accessible through the local file system, and you can use them right away by either double clicking on it or right click then use (or equip if it's an equipment). As for the remote server, the close button is disabled if you're in an encounter, so you have to use the flee button.
If that's not it, it might indeed be a sneaky bug I missed! Thanks again for the support!
