are you playing on Mac, and when is it stopping exactly? If it's not showing the first CG and you can't change your settings or save, you can try either of these solutions some Mac players have used to solve this issue:
- Right-click on the game app -> Enable Write permissions.
- Right-click the game app -> Click "Show package contents" -> Open "Contents” folder -> Open "Mac OS" folder -> Double-click on the executable called “The Hero’s Journey”. This will launch the game through the terminal.
