Grammatical errors in text (it's / its)
greetings. i found that there are a fair amount of grammatical errors in the game and I would just like to help point them out. from what I've seen it's "it's" and "its" that get mixed together and unfortunately I detect those errors quite easily. the error is pretty common to see on the Internet in general, and I'm not even a native English speaker.

as I do not have access to the entirety of the game's text I can only give you one example of what I'm talking about: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3040505582

excerpts from Google that help explain the differences:

It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." The apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," for nouns without gender.

Its (without an apostrophe) is the possessive of the pronoun “it”. You will also come across “it's” (with an apostrophe). This is a contraction of “it is” or “it has”. Because they are pronounced the same but have different meanings, we call these words homophones.

it's possible that these grammatical errors are already planned to be fixed for v1.0. if so then feel free to close this thread.

i noticed this to. it didn't effect my enjoyment of the game, and it needn't of an affect on you're enjoyment either. just learn too look past these little errors because their really not so important. i just like to think have myself as seeing the big picture and not so focused on little details i guess i guess

the first thing to fall in the spooky apocalypse was the proper use of an apostrophe, its probably™ canon™

I actually compiled a bunch of screenshots of exactly that because it did bother me a bit, as grammatical / writing errors can break immersion in some cases.

Fairly common with indie games. Such errors tend to go unchecked as most developers can't be bothered to address them. I wouldn't mind going through all of the game's text to fix it myself if they were willing to pay for my efforts, seeing as this should be a patch instead of a mod. I imagine many of you have work or school, but since I'm looking for a job...
