AoP review
Here is a fresh review from Retromation!

Bug fix
tl;dr; We have fixed a problem with save file creation.
Some people reported that the game menus overlapping each other and the buttons are unresponsive. This was a side effect of wrong save file creation.
GLHF :)
Whoops, sorry!
It seems that there is a problem with creating new savefiles, that makes the game unplayable on some computers. Sadly all the test computers had the savefiles already, so we weren't able to identify this bug before :(
We are very sorry about this issue, and we will fix it ASAP (probably in 24 hours or so).
Sorry again!
