Alrighty. Re-downloaded, was able to get much further, and found another snag. Around day 35, upgrades, domains, and miracles begin to cost more than 100 essence, but there's no way to increase your essence cap that costs 100 essence or less.
I did not lose any of my progress any of the times I re-downloaded it, so that's been nice!
However, whatever fix you implemented did not come through on the user side. I own every building maxed out through the monument, and I've got all of the upgrades through the first 3 domains, but everything else is still unattainable.
Alright! That download fixed the essence cap issue!
It showed me one final issue with actually finishing the game, though. To complete the "Hour of Ascension," you need to have 400 faith, but faith is capped at 300.
I feel so bad for reporting nothing but issues with the game because the writing and story all genuinely feel so good. The interface and the progression (once numbers worked) feel paced well and the little random events definitely gave it a great feeling of slowly regaining power and being able to flex that power in more and more direct ways.
