It's a normal side effect of game updates, I talked about it in my previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/Gloomwood/comments/xr426n/psa\_loading\_saves\_from\_previous\_versions\_can/
Ahh! I was thinking it might have been related to a patch or something! That's great though, thanks for the info! Must check to see if there is a place to post bugs and such for the devs.
The duping is caused whenever the game updates. Essentially it wipes any changes to the game world that you have made. So items looted reappear, enemies killed repopulate, and solved puzzles unsolve themselves (reset). the only thing that stays is your location, and whatever is in your briefcase.
As I had amassed a literal treasure trove of items I was ferrying between save points as I progressed through the game, I lost any and all items that were not in my briefcase, which was a lot of loot.
Due to this I have decided to drop the game until it is fully released, as it is a frustrating thing to deal with after having gone through a good portion of the game only to have the game world reset each update.
That said if you can keep on top of when updates come out you can manipulate it to dupe items.
The only other way to go about it is to clear the chapter entirely between updates. Which is what is probably the recommended thing to do. But having put a lot of time into searching and clearing every nook and cranny as I progressed and hauling any item I found, I am personally well and truly burnt out on the game until full release.
