Repeated intro

Hey everyone, First, I would just like to thank everyone for the positive feedback, bug reporting, and generally playing a ton of Slay the Spire. Our back end systems have been exploding from all of the love. Thank you! The beta branch will be available when the improved save system is ready for testing. We hope this happens soon. We try to devote an even amount of time to content, systems, and bug fixes (for our own sanity) so even if the new save system isn't ready, there are still goodies!
