[h2]Known issue:[/h2]
There is currently an issue with Steam Cloud messing with the save files on Mac, and perhaps other OSes. That’s the reason we experienced and fixed the start-up bug, added two additional back-up systems for your save files, and did not get much else done today. If you are affected, please try the solution posted in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2133760/discussions/0/601912361526441201/

If that doesn’t work, please mail us at developers at neoludic.games and we will try our best to help you.

We have alerted Steam Support of the issue, and are hoping we can resolve this together swiftly. We have also temporarily disabled Steam Cloud on the store page, until we are able to safely test and verify its integration.

Thank you everyone for your understanding, help and support! And for being so kind in your messages, despite this issue.

Hi everyone, thank you so so much for enjoying our game, and helping us find and fix some more rogue bugs! We're still waiting to verify our Steam Cloud fix with Valve, but here are all the things we fixed in the last 24 hours ✨

• Fixed an issue that would sometimes arise when having back-to-back recommendations. Leading to a softlock.
  
• Fixed an issue where the plant-growing cutscenes would sometimes not reset properly.
  
• Fixed a bug where Tilde’s dialogue at the chess group in the Park would sometimes get stuck, blocking the rest of the day from progressing. This should fix similar bugs in other locations like Moira at the lighthouse or the concert being stuck at ""Wohooo"".
  
• Fixed a bug where Walt was not finishing the Writing Quest.
• Fixed a softlock where you could not confirm the pop-up on the gamepad after adopting the dog.
  
• Fixed the start of a late-game questline.
  
• Fixed a Harper cave spelunking UX issue.
  
• Further adjusted book tags.
  
• Made drama and play requests more distinct in CN and HANT.
  
• Fixed Seagull audio not being controlled by the volume sliders.
  

As always, you can report issues by pressing F2, and make sure you leave a contact, just in case we have questions or tips for you!

We are thankful for having such a wonderful community! ♥️✨

Thank you everyone for your diligent and detailed reports! We'll continue to tinker away on them during the weekend 🔧

[p]Like the six-legged critters, bugs can sneak in from anywhere. And before we can address them, we need to identify them. The faster we can figure out what caused a bug, the faster we can fix it![/p][p][/p][p]Here are a couple tips on how you can help with that, after you encountered one.[/p][p]1. Play the game until the bug appears, [/p][p]2. Then press F2 (depending on your configuration, you might need to hold down the FN key on your keyboard when pressing F2).[/p][p]3. This brings up our bug report tool. Here you can give the bug a good name, and describe what happened BEFORE the bug occurred and describe the bug itself.[/p][p]4. If you're open to being contacted with follow-up questions, you can enter your mail, but you don't have to.[/p][p]5. Press send![/p][p][/p][p]If you can't open the game, or prefer reporting bugs otherwise, you can also email us with a bug report to developers\[at]neoludic.games.[/p][p]It's still important for you to describe what was happening and what is happening in as much detail as you can.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your help![/p]
