So... https://littlenapoleon.itch.io/changelingtale/devlog/660292/changeling-tale-rele...

"We recommend not extracting on top of the old version of the game, delete the old folder and extract the new one (your saves and persistent data should be safe in your appdata folder)."

Having bought the game from Steam, for my Windows PC, I am not sure what are the exact step by step procedure I have to take to keep my progression so far. What is it?

I’ll need to know more about your setup to answer that - what os are you currently playing?

Generally the save files located in the game directory can be copied over to a new version and you can continue to play from that point.

If you’re coming from a phone version, I actually don’t know if there’s a way to pull the data off without delving into system files. They are apparently stored at: Android/Data/com.devname.gamename/files - but without a file system viewer you can’t access them, then you have to connect your phone to your pc and transfer the files over using a usb cable.

If you are just switching from the itch version to the steam version on the same system, you have to do nothing - Renpy backs up all game data into a system folder that both the itch and steam version read from. It will find your itch data and pull it into its save folder on steam if it’s the same machine.

I don't use a smartphone, but a Personal Computer with Windows 10 Family, 64 bit. I only ever used Steam to buy and install the game. and didn't use itch at all.

Oh, weird you’re on itch then for support, the steam page has a discussion page with support there!

On steam you can just let the game update automatically, it will remember everything, no intervention needed. Just play the game!

Oh, great, thanks you very much for your answer.

Sorry for the confusion.
