took me embarrassingly long to figure out that the swan are actually relevant to progression XP (might have deleted save file once because i thought i soft-locked the game)
Thank you! Yeah, sorry about the swan. It seems very hit or miss whether people pay enough attention to it. On paper it sounded like a nice idea that you'd need to do such goody-two-shoes things as a trial, but it's kind of tough to make it work in practice. 😅
