With the length of the game in its current state, it might seem very daunting to catch up back to where you were before if you need to move to a new device, lost save files somehow, or if you're just a player who put the game down a long time ago and wanted to pick it up again. However! There's a feature in place now that'll fast-track you through the game's content and get you pretty close to where you left off.

Simply follow this comprehensive guide for whichever situation suits you best, and you'll be caught back up in no time!

I'm moving to a new computer/phone/device and want to preserve my saves.

Okay! There's a couple methods you can try, as well as the checkpoint system as a fallback.

• Transfer your saves from your old device
  • PC Players
    • KT's saves are stored in a typically-hidden folder, accessible through opening your Run program, and inputting "%APPDATA%" without quotes.
    • From there, you can navigate to the RenPy folder and find save files located inside the KilligansTreasure folder, which should be able to be copied over without any issue.
  • Android Players
    • It's normally much harder to access save files on Android, but it's possible with apps such as File Manager Plus.
    • Once you have an appropriate app, navigate to Android>Data>com.killigans.treasure and copy the ENTIRE FOLDER, not just the save files inside, and move the files to your new device.
  • Transferring from Android to PC (or vice versa)
    
    • As far as I know, it's not possible to move saves from one platform to a different platform, at least at the time of writing. For now, it'd be best for players that want that to use the checkpoint system.
• Restart your playthrough using the checkpoint system
  • If your old saves are unsalvagable, the best course of action may be to start up a new playthrough and use the checkpoint system to catch up to where you were before.
    • To do this, start up a new game with the "New Start" button on the main menu. You'll be prompted for whether you want to start from the very beginning of the story, or skip the prologue. If you select the option to skip the prologue,  you'll be prompted again if you'd like to skip to certain points in the game's story, going in a sequential order. Choose the one that you remember happening most recently in relation to your lost save, and you'll start with a default setup.
      
    • When using this checkpoint system, you'll start at the beginning of the appropriate day with a neutral personality, default equipment, and appropriate stats, as well as a choice in romance partner, if applicable.

My current saves are unusable/give me an error! What should I do?

Don't panic! There's a few courses of action you can take.

• Try from a previous save
  • You'll lose progress you'd gained since that save, but if an older save works, you can use that to catch back up to where you left off
• Restart your playthrough using the checkpoint system
  • If your old saves are unsalvagable, the best course of action may be to start up a new playthrough and use the checkpoint system to catch up to where you were before.
    • To do this, start up a new game with the "New Start" button on the main menu. You'll be prompted for whether you want to start from the very beginning of the story, or skip the prologue. If you select the option to skip the prologue,  you'll be prompted again if you'd like to skip to certain points in the game's story, going in a sequential order. Choose the one that you remember happening most recently in relation to your lost save, and you'll start with a default setup.
    • When using this checkpoint system, you'll start at the beginning of the appropriate day with a neutral personality, default equipment, and appropriate stats, as well as a choice in romance partner, if applicable.
• MAKE FREQUENT SAVES
  • Making your own saves for a variety of situations throughout the story is one of the best ways to preserve your progress if something should happen. And due to this being a game in active development, it's very possible that things may go wrong and affect a number of your saves! Making frequent saves, however, will help minimize that risk.

I uninstalled/set the game down a while/a long time ago and all of my saves no longer work.

If you last played the game 2+ years ago, there's a good chance that your saves may have become unusable, unfortunately. The good news though is that there's a lot of content for you to catch up on! And the best way to get started again is with the checkpoint system.

• Start a new playthrough with the checkpoint system
  • If you're booting up the game from a fresh install, you'll immediately go into the prologue after hitting the "New Start" button. Progress through the prologue until the pause button shows up in the top-right corner (should be about 20 seconds or so). Then use the pause button to go back to the main menu again.
  • Upon pressing the "New Start" button again, you'll start a fresh playthrough and be prompted for whether you want to start from the very beginning of the story, or skip the prologue. If you select the option to skip the prologue,  you'll be prompted again if you'd like to skip to certain points in the game's story, going in a sequential order. Choose the one that you remember happening most recently in relation to when you last played, and you'll start with a default setup.
  • When using this checkpoint system, you'll start at the beginning of the appropriate day with a neutral personality, default equipment, and appropriate stats, as well as a choice in romance partner, if applicable.

And that should cover most, if not all, cases! Hope this guide was of help to y'all, and happy trails!

Huh, that's a variable that should be defined upon the game starting up and there's nothing that should delete it...

Have you tried closing and relaunching the game? I can't reproduce this and chances are that this is one of those exceedingly rare bugs where Ren'Py just forgets to define something.

If that doesn't work (and you're on PC), you can open up the console with SHIFT + O, input "zk_scarred = False" without quotes, then close out of the console by inputting "exit" without quotes. If you're on Android, that method won't work but there is a new game checkpoint you can start at right at the start of the Athlima Summit.

A much thicker southern accent than Killigan's, almost like Benoit Blanc lmao

...This is not a problem to be fixed, it's intentional.

The transitions between days are 10 seconds at most, between when the pause button disappears at the end of the day and when it reappears at the start of the next day. This is done both to emulate time spent asleep and to make sure there's ample time for variables to be flagged and changed without any errors.

If that's too long to tolerate, I don't know what to tell you.

Very cute, thank you for sharing!

Good point! Will see about adding that in

I've already replied to you here. Please don't use others' threads for your own issue (which should have been posted in the bug report thread in the first place).

Not sure, the release process this month was the same as it's always been. I don't have a chromebook myself, but there shouldn't be any issue with downloading it.

Are you trying to download the package manually or through the itch app?

That's very odd, I've never heard of this sort of issue happening before and being so persistent...

My recommendation would be to try starting up a new game completely and see if it lets you do that, but if that fails, try uninstalling the game entirely and make sure all of its files are gone. Then reinstall and see if it works without crashing. My guess is that it may be trying to read really old KT files you may have installed...or it could've had hidden problems during the installation process.

If all that still doesn't work, you might have to just play the game on a PC/Mac, unfortunately.

Please use the Bug/Typo thread next time, the whole reason it's there is so that topics like these don't need to be posted.

That said, I'm not sure what's going on here. Those five buttons along the bottom are not present in the official version of the game, are you playing on a modified version? I'd recommend loading up a previous save and progressing to this point again, on the off chance the game loaded something wrong and caused progress to be blocked.

Well first off, the game is nowhere near completion yet, so no need to worry about "finishing the game."

Second, is there a certain point where the game keeps crashing? Like after a certain line of dialogue or if an error pops up onscreen? And is this happening with other VNs you have installed? I'll need more specifics to determine if this is an issue with the game or something hardware-related.

That's...extremely strange. I'm able to get to the point you're at, under the same conditions of having a barbaric personality and Mac's romance route, and able to change Killigan's equipment and access the codex without any issue. The problems you're having might be specific to your playthrough.

I'm very sorry to hear that this has been giving you such a hard time, though. There's two things you can try, one of which might restore your save to a usable state. Open up the console by pressing SHIFT + O, input "can_equip = True" and "in_town  = True", then input "exit" (all without the quotes). It should allow you to mess with Killigan's equipment and progress, but it may not fix the issue you're having with accessing the codex.

The best thing I can recommend to do is to try making a new save and skip to the closest skip point (the day the group reaches the dreadstone) then catch up from there. It's possible from the other errors you described that something went really wrong with certain important variables at some point, through no fault of your own, and that fucked up the way the game detects when Killigan can mess with his equipment. VERY rarely, the engine "forgets" to do something important during one playthrough and can cause issues like the ones you described.

I'll be combing through and checking to see if anything specific caused the issues you were having and will put out a hotfix ASAP if I find an underlying issue.

You can set Killigan's equipment whenever the banner pops up above the equips button on the UI. If you're not able to do so in the latest content update (on Spiceport City Day 2), report it with as much info as possible in the bug reports thread and I'll try and fix it.

Can you give more information? Which roommate did you choose, did the banner above the equip button ever appear, did you try reloading from a previous save and see if it let you change equipment after getting to that same point again?

Glad you enjoyed it so much! And yes, the Kagu Temple is based upon the Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia! It had an ideal surrounding environment to what I was going for, and the religion it's worshipping helped to inspire the religious lore behind Kagu and the plumerians. So it ended up being a perfect fit.

Thanks! And only with Mac, there haven't been similar intimate moments with Zhokhar yet at this point in the story.

If you're locked in to a romance with Mac, you should be able to access this scene on the third time you've spent the night with him while in Shieldfall Vale.

Tried to have to fix for this last month but it didn't end up going through, will be fixed in this month's build.

For now, a workaround is to just hit Ignore and continue onward.
