Itch has currently quarantined the update automatically but if you manage to get past it you should be able to download the update even if it says the files are from before. Apologies for the inconvenience, I've emailt Itch about it weeks ago but no response.

The save files are typically held in two places on our computer, within the saves folder inside the main gamefolder but also in %appdata% , so you should be fine to delete the current game folder completely and unzip the new one in the same place. You can also just unzip the new folder in a different place and nothing would require deleting. Your saves should automatically show up, if they dont you can copy the saves folder over from the previous game. Hope that helps,let me know if you run into any issues.
The Itch system automatically quarantined the update which I would guess is the cause of this issue. I've emailt Itch support but they're not the fastest to respond. You could try e-mailing Itch support as well to maybe get it resolved faster. The files are definitely there so there isn't anything I can do from my side.
This is a free update so no need to purchase again if you've previously purchased it! The files were put under automatic quarantine by Itch and I'm not sure how quickly they'lll resolve it. Some people have said if you skip past the quarantine message and download the files, even though it says they were uploaded 2 months ago that they're still the new files?

Above link should still work. Otherwise can find it by manually going to the steam page and going to community hub > guides!

So glad to hear you liked it so much! The sequels will be separate games for now, but I'm sure that eventually I'll do an "ultimate" edition way down the line that combines all the chapters into one big game. Just as I also release these games on Android, if it starts getting to the 5-15GB range it gets tough.
Yes that's correct, I of course understand ideally wanting those things as free updates but I think a lot of similar projects die out by doing that because ultimately there isn't much incentive for the creator to continue making content. DLC's could work but typically DLC's are not done for parts and additions that are larger or same size as the original game. Understand your feedback though and hopefully the next game being a bit bigger/longer will address some of those concerns!
PS: There is going to be one free update coming soon but I will reveal more about that in coming weeks.
