Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a complaint. You can’t predict anything at all in this game haha…which is what makes it unique.
On a side note, I seemed to be able to load my old saves just fine and continue right on with the notes being added fully as I interacted with characters again. I’m starting over just to see if I missed anything by doing it. I thought this might be important on your end, I didn’t see any issue so far.
IIRC, this was made is HS…I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the characters come included in the download, but I would guess if anything the characters are a patreon perk ;p
