To be honest, I didn’t feel I could write a trans character/MC authentically. The world of Viatica is incredibly restrictive and prohibitive, and notions of individuality, identity, and self expression simply do not exist. Faithfully writing a trans MC in such a setting was a task I didn’t feel equipped to do. This is my first time writing even a nonbinary character. I didn’t want to write it clumsily or in a way that was misrepresentative, so I chose not to include that option.

As far as saves, the game automatically saves your progress to your browser as you play, so you don’t have to do anything! As long as you don’t delete your cache, it’s saved, though it seems to lose the save after I make an update. 

Thank you for reading!

Ohh, that makes sense.
Generally there's two ways people go about it; realistically writing transphobia in the society, or writing as if transphobia doesn't exist. But considering the Chamber, I can see how the second would be difficult to write and still have readers suspend their disbelief, while the first is just not something most people want to write or read.
I suppose if there is one thing you could do, it could be showing the initial gender choice as cis woman/man, so trans readers know "oh maybe I want to pick nonbinary instead." Regardless, thank you for being considerate, and responding so fast lol
