Can I save my game in this? Does it autosave? I'm over time streaming but afraid to close it. It doesn't say on this page or ingame anywhere and it doesn't say anywhere how long it is. 

EDIT: Apparently it autosaves but not partway thru large puzzles, now I must complete a huge puzzle again. This is a superb game but lacks in sorely needed quality of life features for the time being. Still, very impressive work for what's here, I feel like I ripped you off by getting to play this for free. This should certainl be on Steam once you've polished it up some.

The game autosaves various events, some areas require you to complete the scene at least to keep progress. Maybe I should add a little save icon every time it saved something :) Best bet is you can stop/start whenever a new there’s a new scene since it saves that every time. The game is roughly 4-6 hours to play. If you’d like to support the game or not is up to you! I’m just happy to see people enjoy it. If you have any more feedback I’m all ears.
