• 📌 Early Access Info – Save System, Settings & Known Issues - 22 March 2025

  Hey everyone, Thanks so much for testing Occultus Vitae and for all the feedback you’ve been sharing! Here’s a quick overview of some important current limitations and known issues in the Early Access build: 🧠 Save System There is no save functionality yet.

Control settings (e.g., keybinding customization) are not available yet but will be added later. 📄 Document Tracking Currently, there’s no indicator showing which notes are new or already read. Until we implement a proper system, you’ll need to manually check throug…
