so close to finishing this game (going off the guide) and i get hit with this
edit: so i kinda figured it out (not really but it'll do) i swtiched back my system locale to english (was set to japanese for other games), toggled on "Beta: Use UTF-8" (for the time being), restarted and had to uninstall/reinstall the game using a different sites version. So, for me, whatever changes that character's ä in the game's code/language (supposed to read Sekretärin.v3o), messes with the game's ability to read it permanently. Right now the file has � instead of ä but at least the game is able to read that temporary character due to how the locale is set up to translate that code so they're both on the same page. Plus ive yet to find some feature/program that supports multiple system locales for windows 11...don't quote me on this, this is just an observation of what I THINK is happening...
edit: welp...finally beat it...the last five "mini-games" were a pain to complete but im glad they refill your health after every clear...sucks that there's no freemode to view the animations/couples you see throughout the game as you think you would after viewing the last cutscene...though it is a bit odd as to HOW Lula managed to escape the operating room (my speculation tells me she probably never did escape and her mind is making her hallucinate as you see the cut-board cutouts and faces in the sky but thats just me)...anyway fun game to beat
