Lerd0, could you please reupload windows build to fix issue with Windows Defender?
Created the new archive with game for Windows with 7-zip. Hope this will remove the "virus" error.

Mispicked an option and was unable to reset the game to go back in and pick what I intended to pick.
Adding a reset button would be nice.

Do you plan on having rollback or savestates? Having to reset the whole chat or manually copying the AppData folder is a huge bummer if you want to see all branches.
Honestly, we don’t know yet. In the past, we worked on games for iOS/Android stores, where management’s goal was to stretch playtime to sell in-game currency or show as many ads as possible. By that logic, a free savestate would “break” the game. And Swipe2Crush is still a mobile game at its core. Right now, we’re just starting to figure out how to work with itch.io and Patreon. Our main focus is on adding new characters and expanding the content.

We could add something like a “Timeline” feature (similar to Underworld Office, for example), but it’s not quick to implement and isn’t a high priority for us right now. We think we’ll be able to consider it once Swipe2Crush exits the MVP phase and moves into the Alpha version (optimistically estimate - not earlier than March-April).

That's a shame, because since I'm kinda completionist on games, I try to read all dialogues, and any obstacles to doing so annoy me a lot. Hahaha
But I'm not a paying customer, so it's not like my opinion matters much...
The best mechanic for going back I've seen in these types of games is NTR Phone, in which any of your messages that you click you can go back to it (and it also has a speed up feature to go through repeated texts), so it makes the replayability a whole lot better.
And I think it's also simpler to implement, since there's no need of doing another screen with the game flow, desceiption, thumbnails nor anything similar.
