- In-run Save Dev-Log - 20 March 2026
Hello everyone!Regarding the frequently requested feature of “adding an in-run save option,” we’ll start with the conclusion: we are working on it.We understand that this is not a small issue. For a game like Roots Devour, where a single run can last quite a while and exploration and decision-making are highly continuous, not being able to save progress at the right moment can indeed be inconvenient and affect the overall experience. We completely understand the frustration and urgency many players have expressed.At the moment, the in-run save feature has already reached some early development milestones, but the implementation has turned out to be more complex than we initially anticipated.Because the game involves a large number of map states, event progressions, and interactions between cards and branching outcomes, making this feature truly stable and reliable requires additional fi…
