Saves & Your Playthroughs

No significant changes have been made to save file compatibility since the last update. As before: 

• Saves from before June 24, 2023 must be restarted

As this build is a work in progress, it is highly recommended that you make multiple manual using Save to Disk and store them on your device rather than your browser. Always save when prompted. You may be required to restart from Episodes 1 or 2 as various bugs are fixed in Episode 3. 

The Autosave occasionally loads incorrect metadata. It is always wiser to load a save made using Save to Disk.
