I have seen the Continue/New prompt, but like Edman, the autosave doesn't always stick and I hate losing several hours of progress. So, I give up. If the Dev can figure out what's goin' on & offer a solution, I'll definitely play again.
I'm missing how to save progress. I don't play games that I can't save and continue later - too much going on around me. I'm bummed - looks like a good game with a lot of thought and effort put into it by the developer(s).
