The game does have a hidden autosave, im making it more apparent next patch with a little message that the game has saved.
This is interesting, thanks for the information. Does the newgame command clear it up and allow you to start over at least? And if so, can you reproduce this issue?
EDIT: I also just learned that newgame doesnt quite work right on that build. I just fixed it on v0.2.0, oops. You may be stuck, sorry :/
The new game version will come with a save-wipe though, so youll start fresh
