can i install the game without worrying about deleting my saves from an old version? or will those be incompatible when i download the recent update? i’m not too sure how games from itch work because this is the first and only game ive installed from an online source :(

The saves are actually stored in two places - in the game folder itself, and then another location on your computer. Since the saves are stored separately in that other location, it's usually not an issue to download the new version, open it up, and load a save as you would normally.
I will add that since this is an in-development game, there are times when saves may not load in a new version without popping up an error. If this happens to you, you can start a new game and choose the skip option to fast-forward through, remaking your choices as you go. It's not ideal, but as someone who's had to replay from the beginning a lot, it only takes a few minutes.
