Oh no! I’m sorry to hear. Could you walk me through what happens specifically? Are you running Windows or Linux? demo or full version? I’m having trouble reproducing the issue here.
A few things you can try:
- Make a backup of your save folder (e.g. %AppData%/soundStrider) and remove it. It’s possible that some files in there got corrupted. If that works, then maybe we can attempt to recover your save by then copying the Local Storage folder back into it.
- Download the itch app and then install the game through there. This will manage the whole update process for you, and you’ll keep your saves.
- The same is true if you have Steam. Both the demo and full version are available there (be sure to redeem your free Steam key if you’ve purchased here).
- With the full version, you also have access to the HTML5 build. You’ll lose your save but you can run it directly in a compatible browser. (To download the demo you need to use the itch app and then open it in your browser from the install directory. Unfortunately that’s just how itch is set up.)
