Hey so version 1.0.5 had a very serious game-breaking issue where it would DELETE the file containing all of the dialogue on startup, which is obviously a huge issue and was causing instant crashes on booting up the game. 
If you have version 1.0.5 just delete it.

Version 1.0.6 has all the fixes that came in 1.0.5 but without the instant crashing lmao.

Thank you all so much for your constant patience and feedback, it's incredibly helpful.
