I'm liking this game a fair amount so far.  I just tried Version 0.5.1.4 and noticed there was a backpack I don't remember from version 0.5.0.2.  I looked around for information on what this does, but I haven't seen anything or even mention of it.  Is there a pointer you can provide me with information?  Thanks.

It's basically the items you carry with you while exploring. Some of them can be used and ropes are required to capture characters. I believe exploration tutorial part should cover this.

Thank you for the reply.  I had figured out the new ropes (at least new to me) needed to go into the backpack.  But one of the places I had looked for info was the "?" in game and I know I looked under "exploration".  I continued a save from 0.5.0.2 (which seems to be working fine, except the selections of contraceptives and whatnot had cleared) so I didn't run the "beginning of the game" tutorial.

Looks really good so far.  Keep this up and I'll break my "[practically] no patreons" policy and throw a little your way each month.
