Saving and the account

The game saves itself in the browser. With an account, it is also kept online, follows you on all your devices, and opens three saves, playing together and the Post.
On this page
In short
- Without an account, the game is kept in your browser, every turn. Clearing the browser’s data clears it too.
- With an account, it is also kept online and follows you on all your devices, phone included.
- Three saves per account, each with its own camp, bag, bank, coins and story; the Journal, the Achievements and the titles are shared.
Automatic saving
The game saves before every animation: if the page closes or reloads in the middle of a turn, nothing is replayed, and you pick up exactly where you were. In the dungeon as in the Hollow, there is nothing to do.
The account
An account is created with an e-mail address or in one click with Discord. It serves three purposes:
- keeping the game online: every save goes to your account, and another device picks it up;
- playing together: “Play Together” gives you a code to share to explore the same dungeon with a friend;
- the Post: friends, letters, the gift codes of the moment.
With an account, a “Save” button appears in the Hollow, and the game also sends your save when you close the page. At the bottom right of the Hollow, a note says whether nobody is signed in, or whether two copies of the game disagree.
If your account’s game and the device’s game don’t tell the same story, for instance after playing on two devices without a network, the game shows you both and lets you choose which one to keep. Nothing is sent until you have chosen.
Three saves
On the title screen, “Your three saves” shows three plates: the active save, in gold, and two places for other adventures, with another duo. Nothing passes from one save to another: no items, no coins, no Pokémon. The Exploration Journal, the Achievements and the titles, however, belong to the account, and count for all saves.
Saves are sealed
A save bears a seal: a save edited by hand is refused by the account, and the game goes back to the last sound save. This is what keeps the player market and the rankings honest.
Linking Discord, deleting your account
From the account, you can link your Discord account, for the server roles and the Post, and you can delete your account at any time: your saves and your data go with it.
