I've tracked down and fixed an error with one of the scripts that was deleting game data around the start of "Chapter 3". From my testing all scenes now save and the endings are accurate to the choices made throughout the game.
After this I'm planning on fixing a few things I've found and get back into the localization system.
More updates coming soon

The main event of the demo is finding your sister Emma, after a game of hide-and-seek goes too far. In the search for her you must converse with the mysterious "Shut-In" and solve cryptic riddles.
Only after does he help you access the "Historical Society" that Emma has sneaked into...
Though once inside this house the chaos truly begins in your search for her.
