Please also note that we always keep branches of major previous versions.
If you feel like going back in time and have the vanilla experience, you will always be able to do it.
We really hope you'll enjoy this update. It was made to ensure the game is more future-proof and could be played for years by everyone.

Here's a little note about the technical part regarding saves :
- As the engine is totally different, saves are incompatible without being migrated.
- Migration is executed at first run of v2.5. Depending on the amount of saves, it could take up to 30 secs, even more if you got a bit addicted to those witch papers.
- Once migration is done, after the game initial loading, you should find all your saves in the "load soul" menu
- Original saves are kept, a new saves directory is created inside the game folder root, containing the new saves.
- Progress made in the v2.5 is only compatible with v2.5
