lost saved game

"Hi, I'm back in the game after two years, and my saved game has disappeared. Has anyone experienced something similar? Were you able to recover your progress?"

Yes, I have seen it happening with other games. Difficult to say but windows update can be the reason or maybe even Steam. If there's a steam cloud save, that might help, but if there's none, there is no recovery possible.
It made me make backups from the steam folders, after playing because then you can just replace the folder.
Since Steam uses numbers for their game folders, and it's a while back,I can't really say which is which. Other then just check on all, and perhaps use a screenshot to see which is which. But sometimes savefiles can also be in the windows documents folder. And that might be with this one the case. For me it's a long time ago that I played the game.

well, my game crashed after the train was pushed with the boat. .. my last save i made was hours ago .. so, i have to start again from there? No, i don't. I will watch a Youtube Walkthrough then .. :(
--> so, for everyone reading this: Make a save as often as you can!

EDIT: i decided to not watch Youtube and start from last save point and repeat around 2 hours .. because i really like this series .. the aesthetics ..;)

Hours is quite a long time for save intervals for a game of this kind -unless you like repeating same things over and over. I usually save in 15 minutes or so. And I have three save slots which I save on rotation, just in case one gets corrupted for some reason.
