I’ll work on improving the context and descriptions for the books.
About the save issue – could you let me know what platform you’re playing on and when the problem happens? That would really help me figure out what’s going on.
Please make sure you’ve unzipped the game folder before playing. After launching the game, it should automatically create a saves/ folder next to [game].exe file.
All your save files are stored in that folder, so if it gets deleted or moved, your saves will be lost.
