Just fyi, I have prestiged multiple times but never got any "lore" at the end of any of them. I would see a grainy screen flash with a "?" box but it would only last like 2 or 3 frames then disappear and return me to the Forest screen successfully having restarted. But no lore or anything appeared. Also, the Heart tab still shows as ??? every time I prestige.

Seems that localization patch messed up the prestige texts, thanks for letting me know.

No problem! Great incremental game btw! I am invested enough that I'm a bit sad I didn't get the lore! Any chance I can see/know what it was without having to restart?

Sorry again, the plan was to have actual "lore" but we ended up leaving something else as these 10 prestige lines (for now?) - but yes, you can see the lines, the game is open source so here is the file that contains them: https://github.com/TinyTakinTeller/GodotProjectZero/blob/master/assets/i18n/loca... (lines 89-109)
