Hey i've uh.. kinda come across a huge bug.
The game wont keep the saves i make.
I just played for pretty much 40 minutes, got past all of the bandit cave and the digital world part, went back to the inn, saved like 5 times, exited thru the menu just in case, and closed the game. Then i opened it again just to be sure and it all went back to the save i made before leaving the inn before going down the well. I dont know how to fix this, please tell me if you know, if this persists i dont think i'll be able to keep playing since i dont want to have to beat the game all in one sitting, thank you.

First and foremost, are you running Grove v0.308?
Have you properly extracted / unzipped the game? If you haven't done so, your saves won't write.
Additionally, have you made sure to save your game to a location on your harddrive? Saving to cloudsync options like OneDrive or iCloud causes discrepancies that can make saves disappear.
If the problem isn't any of these things, then we'll need to see a screenshot of your save folder to determine more details.
Yes, the game is on v0.308
I dont think the unzipping is the problem, the game saved just fine until this point.
And im pretty sure the game is saved on my hard drive because i dont even know what a onedrive or icloud is
I just checked the save folder and it says it was last modified on november 4th, which was the day i got to the part that glitched the game
I cant exactly open the files because its on ''rpgsave'' format
OK, first thing's first, what OS does your computer use? Windows? MacOS? Linux?
And to that end, you've made sure to download the right version of the game for your OS?
As far as we can tell there's no specific issue where you're losing your saves. If you moved the game folders around or maybe even left the game running for a long time... or maybe just something odd happened and your saves got corrupted.
What we'd recommend, after checking your OS, would be to download the game again, extract it, run it fresh and try saving your game somewhere near the start. Close it, open it again, check if your saves are there.
If it works, then try dragging ALL the contents of the older game save folder (the one where they're having issues with) into the new download, and see if you can still make new saves.
