doesn't look like the game has had an update in 2 years, and is drawing a sketchy amount of personal data from all the people who play it (without precaution). It's doubtful how many are still following this dev, if they are even still active. Probably best to check the thread via the search feature or check any of the devs other sites in the OP instead of waiting for answer. Good luck.

Yeah, something isn't adding up. I was going off the OP info that says it hasn't seen an update since 2022, they are usually good about changing that when they update new versions to the OP, but maybe not.

It does seem weird that a post that's 5 days old seems to be an older version than what is posted here. Best guess is they attempted a remake and this post is out of date by 2 years. Not really sure, but if anything in that OP in regards to sharing private info is accurate. I don't feel like the game is worth figuring it out. Others can feel differently.

Whatever you end up doing, I hope you enjoy it.

I wrote a version analysis awhile back its is within this thread somewhere.
In I explained the where, what of the version numerical shift and why it happened.
Since I have not gotten any newer or older versions to compare against the two i already have, the info has not changed.

This game is still alive on patreon, but safety questions is not gone. After deletion, does it leave any hidden files on the computer?
Sometimes i think that the easiest choice it's install new clear OS for playing in this game :D

I played the "safe" version 0.63. Now I would like to go through a newer version, but I came across this discussion about security. It's upsetting.

TLDR-> play on no network vm os, use a uninstaller cleaner software to remove.

Not "hidden" per se, but there are folders and files made and then placed into the users folder (os-drive-letter:\Users\user.name\AppData\-local and -Roaming folders, for windows users probably the same for wine) as I have found the folder \WaysOfLife088) folder within each of the following directories after starting a new game and then "uninstalling" these folders and the sub folder files still remained.
Note did not use an uninstaller cleaner software (revo uninstaller) on first uninstall when I did on second uninstall it did find these folders and sub folders files and removed them.

but does make folder (within windows) here
os-drive-letter:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\WaysOfLife-version-number-played\user data​
with three (3) sub folders and three (3) files​

and here
os-drive-letter:\Users\user.name\AppData\Roaming\WaysOfLife-version-number-played\​
with nine (9) sub folders and two (2) files​

Or played within a vm with blocked - no network interface enabled...

As I looked throuh the Save file i found something that was not ideal and I also recomment playing on a VM without Network (or just on ur risk on ur device without Network). Idk when its will trigger but it is not so nice and in my oppinion the challange not worth it. It is ok when you just want to play the game the normal way but if u try to tweak something keep it in mind and there was nothing to find for me in the save accept this idk where the Values are stored i deleted the game it is not worth it in my optinion and on the VM the game was slow an clunky. And also the "Cheats" didn´t work because the Scripted was changed and the game crashed.

I have nothing to do with the arguments between you, the game creator and the "mod creator", but I have a suggestion. Don't take it the wrong way, but I believe that to avoid this, it would be good for the game creator to include the cheat enabled in the game itself. But I repeat, I speak respectfully, that way you would avoid this headache. Of course, the game creator can ignore my suggestion, but then your problems would continue. The decision is only yours.

You should go re-read the OP for the warning for this game.

There are multiple trigger points where the game self reports the user's info back to developer.
The warning is there for a reason.
Please avoid this game at all costs

I am not in trouble with the game Creator (since i did nothing wrong and the error message didn't apper for me ingame) this line i posted in the screenshot was the Value of a Variable which could be used ingame i just wanted to warn everyone if the try to manipulate the game and are not carefull
