Warning: This game does NOT auto save / Crash Report

[UИdecided]

I've played up to the three switches and fire breakout cave without realizing that walking over what looks like checkpoints etc in fact NEVER saves, the game (apparently) ONLY saves when you manually use the save icon from the in game menu.

I discovered this when in the aforementioned place, the fire enemy I was batting around got stuck in the "entrance tunnel" in the lower left. After struggling for a couple of seconds, it stopped and I was waiting for it to return to the main area... when I found the game had frozen, and a couple seconds later, crashed. (This is under Linux, if it makes a difference.)

When I then restarted the game and looked at my save file... it was completely pristine. Like nothing ever has been saved in the slot I chose.

OK this (for me) now was only an hour or so of early game, but still... there could be some auto saving at least on "achievements", and/or a better way to be able to continue after game crashes (or no crashes ever, but who are we kidding).

Hello, the game autosaves as soon as you activate or walk on a save point, but it is only effective when you exit the game normally.

I'm sorry for the crash you encountered. If you have not relaunched the game more than once you can send me the logs so I can remove the cause. They should be here: ~/.config/unity3d/Achromi/MasterKey/Player.log

If you haven't relaunched the game at all, you can retrieve your progress by editing the registry.

Thank you so much!

I've since restarted and played much further into the game already. I'm greatly enjoying it, it rewards exploration in a way that (for me) very few 'modern' games manage to capture!

Quite possibly I've only restarted it once though, and the current Player.log does mention a couple of crash reports / NullReferenceExceptions.

I've saved that log before I will now continue playing ;-) how do I send that log to you?

It's good to know that there IS a way to recover from that situation, should I encounter it again. Again, thank you so much!

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it.

You can send the logs through discord, there is a link on the store page, on the right under the achievements. Or you can send it by mail to A******[e-mail].
