I don't know how itch works with uploaded games, but I've seen some where the game is "free" but certain files cost money to buy them. The way that's set up to buyers is kinda like "Pay what you want" but if you want a specific file you have to pay a certain amount of money. Would it be possible to rearrange the game so the main files are $25 and the walkthrough is $30 in that case? The demos were automatically set up as paying what you wanted before the full game was released.

Thats what I already did!
But if people bought the game on itch.io before the walkthrough went up, itch.io asks them for an additional 30USD instead of just 5! 😩
When you have just the demos and they are free its easy to put extra content for 5 dollars, but when you have the full game it wont allow you to set anything with a price under the full price of the game 😤
I think you're misunderstanding me, but I'm not sure how to articulate what I mean. I'm gonna try though.
Take this as an example: https://fouzi94.itch.io/existence
Notice how it doesn't specify the price up front, but if you scroll to downloads it has files listed for "If you pay $*** or more"
I just wondered if there was a way to specify the full game as "If you pay $25 or more" in the individual files.
For some reason itch sees this differently than the full game price.
I know cause other games were like "if you pay $3 or more" for certain files, then later an update was uploaded as "$5 or more" and I only had to pay an additional $2 for the new files.
If that's confusing, I'm sorry. Honestly idc if I, personally, have the walkthrough or not, I just wanted to try to help you out.
