A Simple Life with My Unobtrusive Sister: Bugs, Controls, and Save Migration

Perma-dash on zone load, false full inventory, save folder migration, KB+M vs gamepad, vending menu glitches.

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Quick Answer

Don't dash across map loads; back up www/save on updates; use keyboard+mouse; neutral movement before RMB specials; F12 inventory fix only with backup.

Nothing here is “git gud” — it is NW.js jank and save path stuff I wish I knew before hour ten.


Save migration (updates)

Game updates can ignore old progress if saves stay behind.

  1. Back up your current www/save folder (zip it).
  2. Install / update the build.
  3. Copy the old www/save into the same relative path in the new build.
  4. Launch once; if half the data loads, restore backup and ask on Discord before overwriting.

Community 100% save drops use the same folder — see cheat guide.


Perma‑dash bug

Symptom: after a map transition, you stay at double‑speed sprint until restart.

Cause: holding dash while a new area loads.

Fix: release dash before crossing zone lines; if stuck, reload save.


Inventory “full” with empty slots

After some patches the UI claims full while slots look empty. Community fixes use the F12 console script — only with a save backup. I reloaded save instead of scripting when it happened once.

Permanent bag fixes (legit): Neko Plush Suit, Mana Gel on hub.


Controls

Issue Workaround
Gamepad drops inputs Keyboard + mouse — more reliable for move + attack chains
Special (RMB) not firing Most need hold RMB; buffer fails if you slide — stop moving briefly
Short‑press specials A few skills register on tap; boss fights still want clean holds
Vending Drink something missing Buy once from machine; if menu breaks, reload or restart
Life‑sim prompts drop input Lower resolution or borderless window on weak PCs
macOS Intel Some builds need x64 NW.js dropped in game folder
Android touch Fast taps misread in combat; itch app launch helps some players

Default combat binds mentioned in community notes: WASD / arrows, LMB attack, RMB hold specials, Space dash / smoke ball — stick to defaults while debugging.


Map soft‑locks

  • Boss map edges and specific holes can trap you.
  • Save before baiting enemies near pits.
  • If fallen through geometry, reload — no shame.

itch.io app

Launching through the itch.io app fixed input weirdness for me on PC versus raw exe — worth one try before fighting controllers.
