Hi so, I did some research and talked to some others. If you are still having trouble loading saves offline, I would recommend checking out this article: https://twinery.org/questions/8936/where-are-saves-stored-without-wifi

I'm not having trouble loading saves. It doesn't save, so there is nothing to load. And it's not internet, it's the fact that it's the offline version of the game.This is the error I get:

Gotcha, thanks for sharing the error, that helps. I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue and I asked some people to test the saving offline. But the screenshot is helping so I can try to look into it. Thank you.

hey! just thought i'd let you know that twine's in-game save slots work using your browser cache--meaning, they won't work on the itch.io app, as the itch.io app is not a browser with caches. that's why those slots work on web versions, but not on the app. this isn't exactly something authors can fix as far as i'm aware, but you can use the 'save to disk' option to download your saves and the 'load from disk' option to load them, i believe! hope this helps :)

Thank you for sharing - this is a great explanation and helpful.

I'm completely aware that that is how it works by default, but you definitely *can* change that default. Plenty of Twine authors have done so. I just don't know how to do it myself.

If you or anyone else knows of any specific authors, please point me in the right direction because I’ve talked to several and have not had any luck.

I suggest asking manonamora. She seems to be rather proficient with Twine and doesn't mind answering questions. CRWL has saves that function in the app.
