the path tracker thingy (pop up menu top right) does not work correctly until episode 7 in a new game as the three variables are not defined until this point.
easy workaround: set them to a default value early on, e.g. in episode0.rpy. this does not break any saves or risks to introduce other issues - when the variable has a different value the "default" directive does not overwrite it.
default pointslightpath = 0 default pointstwilightpath = 0 default pointsdarkpath = 0
looking forward to see more of the game, the first handful of episodes were a pleasure.
