I honestly have no idea! maybe I messed up while programming and set the check for 400 coppers (like in the previous chapter I think). I'm going to check it out asap and reply again. sorry for the issue (/_;)

Well, it's as I thought. I accidentally set the copper check to 400+ instead of 300. This will be fixed in the next update.
Don't worry though. Despite the game checking if you have 400 or more, you will only be losing 300 after paying, so you can just sell some old equipment or do the small herb gathering side quest to complete the 400. Sorry again for the trouble!
oh gosh that's really troubling! other people seem to have lost their save data after the game updated too for some reason, even though itch SHOULD be keeping it ;-; (and does keep it 90% of the time)
but if playing the windows version (the downloaded one) is an option to you, I can give you one of my save files on whatever point in the game you stopped! also, chapter 6 is already in development, so it should be out either by the end of this month or the beginning of february xD
