Confused

Why are there so many downloads?  Why can't there just be ONE fully-updated build on a per-platform basis?

There IS one fully updated build for every platform (Windows, Mac, Linux and Mobile). I just also provide only the updade files for people who had the last version and only want to download the files that have been changed. Downloading the full game again every few weeks for little changes wouldn't make much sense after all. ^^ And then I also offer a walkthrough. So in the end, I can't really make it less.

I appreciate the response.  Please check this image and indicate which downloads are needed when downloading for the first time.

Normally you only need to download the Windows version when installing the game for the first time. It's a bit more confusing at the moment due to the bugfix and the missing upload of the newest full version. I'm currently uploading the full version 18.12.16 for all platforms, then people can directly download those as usual.
In the image, the windows version is still older than the update files, so you could download the full version and then apply the update files to get to the newest version. The bugfix can be ignored as it is included in the update files (I deleted the download).
The version number is the date of the release in the year/month/day format.

Should you need help with using update files or moving save files when downloading the full game again, I made a video about both things here:

Thank you very much for the detailed post & video!  I didn't mean to trouble you so much with my derpy confusion ;)

I see that the updated 18.12.16 release is ready to go now!  I did see the walkthrough PDF is poofed now but I just downloaded it via my standard web browser instead.

Cheers!
