i don't know what you mean by journey mode( the card roguelike) so i think it was journey mode regular and that makes sense now thanks for telling me and the games is phenomenal so far by the way super smooth
So, you haven't reached the second mode yet. The game also auto-saves when transitioning between locations. You can always continue from the menu or load one of the latest auto-saves by pressing the "A" key on the load panel.
I had know idea there was a second stage that's completely on me I played the game pretty late at night and I thought I got pretty far but if there was a second stage then I guess I didn't that's completely my bad thanks for telling me
