Hi there!
I'm good at writing texts (at least I'd like to think so), but I'm a terrible programmer. And I really need your help.
At the moment, I'm working on a very large visual novel that will revolutionize the world of video games (tag "sarcasm" on). Okay, in reality, it's just a cozy indie project, but it is really very large. And since it is designed for about 20 hours of play, I would like the game to be automatically saved after each passage.
As an example, I present you this cute novel https://wildisland.itch.io/alltarach
As you can see, 1. At the beginning there are only three buttons: "NEW GAME", "SETTINGS" and "CREDITS".
2. Make a couple of choices (click on the words highlighted in blue).
3. After a few transitions, close the file.
4. Open it again. A fourth button ("CONTINUE") will appear. If you press it, you will continue from the point where you closed it.
How can I do the same? I have scoured the Internet and even found something similar here:

But I am so stupid that you have to literally say to me: "Dude, please take this piece of code and paste it HERE, you dumb piece of sh*t".
Please help me, because I am completely desperate.
