I see that the save system is not working correctly. I was the guy character and when I reloaded, I became Emily. I also had lost my equipment. I was not in the position I saved the game in. I ended up back in my house and could at least pick up the bow again, but the sword was forever gone from the world.
One other thing. I started seeing a case where the mouse cursor would not activate when going into dialogue mode. I realize this is alpha, of course, but I thought I'd report the issues in case anything was new.
