Hey marafrass,
Thanks again for responding. I have been playing on browser and when opening up the game I saw no "continue playing" button. All it says is "Click to begin", which then takes me to the beginning of the game, which means that to access my hopefully-still-alive savefile, I have to go through all of the beginning. I was not aware that a load button existed in the main menu.
The 'Main menu' I was referring to in the previous comment is the menu that opens up when you click the button with the three bars (ingame menu is a better term for it). I actually thought there was no main menu, as I thought the opening screen was just that: an opening screen.
If the savefile is erased, then it's no problem. It is out of your control. I am glad that you're listening to me and everybody else.
