Hey thanks for the reply and update. It loaded fine. I went and found my old self and the ghost to the north and the game froze up in the same way again when they came into view. Was able to take a screenshot this time.

The @ of course is my character (possessing a statue) and the flower to the bottom left of the @ is the square with the other possession ghost when I hover over that square. Of note I think is that the tooltip when I hover over the ghost says that the ghost is dead. I thought I had killed it when the game initially froze up so it may have to do with some sort of end sequence if I had to guess.

And just for clarity's sake it is the exact same type of soft crash as before. No error screen just this screen in game with no mouse or keyboard inputs doing anything except for clicking the menu in the top left and clicking menu buttons. And hovering over stuff with the mouse still shows a tooltip.

The just-released version 20 should fix this lockup problem. The save is now playable.
