When i log back into the game with progress already made, it give me a "keep going" option on the homepage, but I can't figure out what to do from there to continue my progress.
If you're playing in browser you will need to manually save the game through the in-game menu (accessed by pressing esc on your keyboard). Also if you play a lot of rpgmaker games in browser, it may block all of the save states with other games, in which case you'll have to play the game in a different browser or download it. The downloaded version should autosave at the end of every day, although it is still better to manually save now and then. Hope this helps!
