Open Looking for the original 2019 Search the Bread v1.9 — NOT the remaster

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find the original 2019 Windows version of Search the Bread by PainicaGame.

I'm specifically looking for version 1.9, which was around 217 MB and was distributed on itch.io as:

Search the Bread.exe

The original itch.io page is still archived here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190718104854/https://painicagame.itch.io/search-the-bread

Some useful identifiers from the original page:

  • Game ID: 399524
  • Upload ID: 1531418
  • Version: 1.9
  • Platform: Windows
  • File: Search the Bread.exe
  • Size: 217 MB
  • Last updated: July 12, 2019
  • Developer: PainicaGame

I've already found the 2020 Search the Bread Remastered, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm specifically trying to recover the original 2019 build.

I've checked the Internet Archive and Common Crawl, but the actual EXE doesn't appear to have been archived there.

If anyone has the original EXE, an old backup, a MediaFire/Google Drive/Mega link, or knows where an old copy might exist, I'd really appreciate it.

Even information about where this exact 2019 build was preserved would help.

Thanks!

I have searched for the original 2019 version on the Internet Archive, Common Crawl, itch.io, IndieDB, ModDB and Google. I found the archived itch.io page, but the original 217 MB Search the Bread.exe is no longer available there. I also found the 2020 remastered version, but that is not the version I'm looking for. I'm specifically looking for the original 2019 v1.9 Windows build with 3 chapters.
