I'm confused, what's the point in portraits if they're just blank ?
EDIT: Nevermind, apparently you're supposed to replace them with whatever images yourself, which is obnoxious since there's descriptions on how the characters look, so you have to go out of your way to find an image that fits the description, instead of just having some default ones that fit them already there...

When ever I load a previous save any option I have always says:
Error: cannot execute macro <<choice>>: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'hasOwnProperty')

For example I loaded my save I created at the starting area in which your presented with 3 bottles on the table but I'm unable to select any of their options since it says:
Error: cannot execute macro <<choice>>: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'hasOwnProperty')<<choice [[Take bottle|Take Round Bottle]]>>

because of I choice I made after I created that save.

Hmm. Sounds like you may be using an old or non-standard browser? Twine should just work by default on Chrome or Chromium based browsers or firefox.

You could try downloading the desktop app at import the story and then hit the play button from the Build menu.

The choice macro has been deprecated in later versions of twine but it hasn't been removed so it should still function, and nobody else has reported this issue, so I assume it has to be something on your end. I can't replicate the issue on my local copy.

I had the same issue. I ran Firefox

Just tested it in Firefox, still completely unable to replicate this issue. I recommend disabling any script blockers or other extensions that might be interfering with the games operation. One other thing you can try is saving to disk and loading from disk, instead of the cookie saves, if you haven't already.
