Sorry! It's a known issue--I messed up a line in the code. It'll be fixed in the next update, but if you want to fix it yourself, you can open "options.rpy" and add the line:
define config.save_directory = "UnravelingAugust-1652052172"
Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but when I look through the mac .app, I can not find an options.rpy
I tried following the callstack and defining it in the possibly right place, according to the comments, but each attempt seems to lead to the app failing to load at all, so I must have made a mistake.
When will the patch be made available?
Ah, sorry! I forgot Ren'Py archives the files by default. You can google a tool to unpack them or wait for the version update. The good news is I've been working on it every chance I get, so it shouldn't be that much longer. The possibly bad news is it's definitely going to require a new save anyway, mostly because I had no idea what would or wouldn't break save compatibility when I started making this thing. Oops.
