angie the update erased my progress
I'm really sorry to hear that, but updates should not reset your progress as they are backwards compatible. Progress is only reset in a few specific cases:
-
You played on a different device or browser.
-
You played on a different platform, for example switching from the itch.io web page to the itch.io app or downloading Serenitrove to play offline.
-
You cleared your browser history or cache.
For cases 1 and 2, your progress should still be there. You just need to return to the same device, browser, and platform you originally played on. If it is case 3, I'm sorry but the save is unfortunately gone, since all progress is stored locally on your device. Hopefully you made a recent backup of your save.
I hope this helps.
May I ask where you were playing Serenitrove previously, before the save was lost?
If nothing has changed on your end, then it is very likely that something cleared your browser cache behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, if you do not have a backup of the save, there is no way for me to recover it, since all progress is stored locally on your device.
That said, if you roughly remember how far you were, I would be happy to help and manually craft a new save for you with similar progress to what you had before :)
