Resuming a game

Your progress is saved automatically, in your browser. If you leave a story part-way and come back later, the player offers to Resume where you stopped, or to Start over from the beginning.

That choice is made on the story’s entry screen, the one that shows its cover and its title. As long as you have played nothing, it carries only a Play button. As soon as a game is in progress, that button becomes Resume, the date of your last visit shows underneath, and Start over appears beside it.

Back on a story you had started, you choose whether to resume or to start over.

Caution

A saved game lives in the browser you are using, not in your account. It does not follow you from one device to the next. And if the author republishes the story with changes, the game in progress can no longer be resumed. You set off from the beginning.

What about achievements?

A story can define achievements. Opened through a plain share link, it does not carry them at all, and the Achievements entry does not show in the menu. To unlock them you have to be signed in to your account and read the story from the space that publishes it. Your progress is then confirmed on the server, and the Achievements window lists the ones you have earned.

The achievements window, opened from the menu. An achievement still locked shows neither its name nor its icon.
