Hey Batman!
Sorry to hear you had issues getting the game up and running. Is there any chance you could upload your save file? (You can use any file sharing site of your choosing, just make sure the link isn't private).
Also, could be a faulty download if you downloaded from Itch (sometimes the servers are a little bit wonky). You could grab the latest free version from our Patreon here: https://rift.ink/3NJorUe
It requires a Patreon account, but free to create if you don't have one already.
