Hello explorers! 🌿
Today’s update is all about player experience and progression — making sure your journey in Tawa: Lost in Time feels meaningful and persistent as you grow stronger and explore the prehistoric world.

✅ New Feature: Save System Overhaul

You can now save your adventure and pick up exactly where you left off — with world state preserved!
This includes:

🌍 Last scene/location loaded

🐭 Your character stats and state

🍃 Objective & progression systems

🖼️ Save slot thumbnails (real in-game snapshot!)

📅 Timestamped save slots


Each save now generates a mini-screenshot so you can visually see your last location — a small detail that makes it feel alive.

🔄 Auto-Load Most Recent Save

When you return to the game, the most recent save can be automatically loaded — fast and seamless.

Prefer choosing manually? No worries — you can still load from a save menu.

🎨 New Save Menu UI

A new in-game Save Browser lets you manage your progress easily:

Slot preview images

Date & time shown

Load / Delete buttons

“Continue game” feature on the way


Minimal UI, clean, simple, and functional — evolving toward the game’s warm natural style.

💾 Steam Cloud Support (Coming Soon)

Right now saves are stored locally, but full Steam Cloud auto-sync is prepared and will activate when the game reaches its next milestone.

This means cross-device continuity, including Steam Deck. 🕹️🔥

🐾 Why this matters

Progress systems are core to Tawa: Lost in Time.
Saving and loading correctly unlocks the next phase of development:

🏕️ Persistent safe zones & shelters

🥝 Inventory, food storage, crafting

🐊 Creature behavior memory (hunting & danger awareness)

🪺 Return-to-nest narrative mechanics


Little Tawa’s survival story becomes yours.

🎯 Next Steps

Working next on:

Gamepad-friendly save UI

Steam Deck UI polish

Improved creature detection & stealth behavior

Environmental polish for island biomes

Cloud synchronization activation


And… a surprise companion update soon 👀✨

See you on the islands! 🌴🕊️

Just a quick fix for a bug related to the flashlight drone: dropping any gadget from the inventory was causing the flashlight drone to disappear (and needed to be equipped again).

Now it's fixed : )

1. Jump Height Fix Adjustment (Addresses the issue of getting stuck in certain levels without self-termination)

   （From the programmer with poor English skills.ːsteamfacepalmː）

Genre, helpful as it can be for self-identification, is a commitment and a promise. With genre come certain expectations, tropes, and other things the writer must be aware of. Keeping that in mind, calling Pages of Tomorrow a "mystery" visual novel doesn't quite do it for me. I will try, to the best of my ability, to explain why that is – and why I settled on "psychological" instead.

Pages of Tomorrow isn't a thriller. It's not a visual novel that has fight scenes or chase sequences; while it has its exciting moments, and the mystery itself is gripping, moments of superficial relaxation are just as important. In Pages of Tomorrow, showing the daily lives of the patients isn't just buildup for showing something out of the ordinary, but something that's valuable in itself.

A psychological visual novel is one that gets deep into the characters' psyche; how they act, and especially how they think. Seemingly unexciting scenes become interesting and unique when approached from this angle. An ordinary conversation can become a vessel for symbolism, giving the audience a look into the characters' heads – and that's precisely what I want for Pages of Tomorrow.

Focusing on characters who are by definition out of the ordinary, as mentally ill people, ensures their reality isn't boring to the general audience. After all, it is very different to what most people are accustomed to in their lives. I believe the term "psychological" describes Pages of Tomorrow perfectly, as it literally is a story focused on the complexities of human psychology, or perhaps even psychiatry.

Thank you for making it to the end. As always, I invite you to wishlist Pages of Tomorrow – those who do will be notified immediately when the demo becomes available.
