Love the game and have been excited to play for a while now.
Unfortunately, the game seems completely unable to save; I have read the previous threads with the same problem and have not found a suitable solution. I don't have my steam files located on a separate device or anything of the sort.
Please do let me know if there becomes a solution to this as I would prefer not to have to play the game all in one sitting in order to experience its conclusion.

To add on to this, I also cannot locate where the save data would be stored amongst the files? I attempted to create a save game while playing and, before closing the game, searched the games files for where that 'save' may be - In order to see if it is constantly overwritten or simply never created and the latter appears to be the case

Hey there! Sorry you're running into this! We're still gathering data from folks to be able to reproduce it on our end. Just to confirm, you don't have game files on a separate drive (just want to clarify it's not a separate device, it's like F: or D: drive) when user files are on the C:?

Save files should be located here if they're on C: :

and the main save file is called (which might be why you weren't finding it with save—the additional save files are named save0, save1 etc)

Otherwise, general recommendation to uninstall / reinstall, and verify Steam files, but we can get there when we get there!
