It's a Ren'py game, so as long as you put it into the "games\saves" folder and you name it like "X-Y-LT1.save", the game should be able to load it. X = page number, Y = slot number (usually from 1 to 6).

On a side note, RPG Maker MV games are trickier: you can't add a save just like that, you must replace an existing one.

It's a Ren'py game: download the file, rename it and move it into the "game\saves" subfolder (see what I wrote in my first post).
For instance, if you rename the file as 1-1-LT1.save, you must launch the first save on page 1.

Thanks that helped. Can you explain the difference between the auto saves and the regular saves.
As the name suggests, autosaves are automatically generated by the game (eg when there are choices to be made).
The regular ones instead are the ones made by you.
There're also quicksaves but they're almost useless imo and not all games have the button visible on the interface.
