Hmm, I'm very disappointed ... not in the game; it is FANTASTIC. Without clearing my cookies, though, my saves have been deleted :( I was about halfway through the game, too.
I saw you mention that Chrome is good at deleting saves; is there anything I can do to guard against this? I pretty much ONLY use Chrome.
