Improvements
- The Witch side quest now provides continuous directional guidance toward the correct quest objective whenever the guidance is active.
- Improved early-game guidance for using Goddess Statues and save points to return to town, with clearer follow-up prompts to help players continue to the next quest.
- Removed the mechanism door from the Abandoned Mine. Many players found that this branching-path mechanic could be confusing.
- Improved the save system so the game will no longer report a successful save when it cannot confirm that the data was written correctly. Failed autosaves now display a failure notice, while failed manual saves provide a detailed error message and the most likely cause—such as antivirus software, ransomware protection, insufficient folder permissions, low disk space, or a locked save file.
- Added save-system compatibility handling for Wine-based environments on macOS. Since I currently do not have access to a Mac, this has only been statically validated so far. I may try to borrow one to make sure the game runs and saves correctly on actual hardware.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed incorrect ground collision around the well in the Unresponsive Village.
