Save and Exit Rules

You can save and resume an expedition at layer transitions. The current Continue description warns that dying or quitting in the middle of a layer erases progress. This is not an anytime checkpoint system.

Save at the transition

1. Reach the end of the current layer and open the transition choices.
2. Choose Save and exit when you want a break.
3. Return through Resume expedition to continue the previously saved run.

The Save and exit description says the expedition resumes at the start of the next layer. Make that distinction before closing the game: arriving at a transition is different from simply standing somewhere safe.

What Continue means

Continue keeps the current descent moving. It is not a promise that the game will preserve an arbitrary mid-layer position. Do not test the quit behavior on a run you want to keep.

Release 1.0 fixes the save/continue menu background blocking input and a trap/loot multiplier issue with save and quit. Those are patch-specific fixes, not evidence that every modded save can be recovered.

If the menu or save fails

Record whether the failure happened at a transition, after death, or after a mid-layer quit. Include your edition, game version and installed mods in a support report. Avoid overwriting files while diagnosing. This guide does not provide a verified save-file path or recovery tool; use the in-game route first. See mod recovery if a third-party change preceded the failure.
