This is a pre-release internal note from the closed playtest, quoted as it was written for testers. It describes a build that no longer exists; treat it as history, not as a description of the current game.

Happy Friday! 😎

We think that save/loading runs should now be working so you can take breaks from the game without fear of losing progress. If you run into any save/load issues, you'll find the save file here (change the username portion): `C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Mega Crit\Slay the Spire 2\Local\defaultProfile`

We're starting to fill in Act 3 with content but not all the content is there yet. Still, feedback for what is in there would be great :). Note that there are some filler enemies/bosses/events in there from Act 1 which won't be there later.
