check the game folder in your directory for the saves AND
C:\Users\*your user*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\LongLiveThePrincess-*numbers*
if your game still has the save files but the saves is gone in Appdata just copy paste them there.... or vice versa
If you have neither you are doomed indeed
Evangelion-01 Thanks for the reminder and tip. I'd checked my AppData before...and did again just now and it was empty except for the 'persistent.sav' So I went back to my save games folder and I did have several saves which I back copied into AppData, (including some AutoSaves)… Sure enough I was able to find them in my "Load" menu.
Now the personal bad news and why you'll find my body on the floor with blood all around.... I had been stepping Through the game, saving every several days just to make sure as I both followed the "Walkthru" and deviated to explore. It WAS FUN! I had over 60 Save games so I could literally 'step back in time' and redo any sequence I wanted. Don't believe anyone is so 'anal compulsive?' Check this: (D=Day)

WELL they're all GONE now...
I have only the ones after D60 and the End game start so, although I can follow on from now, I need to Restart once again if I want to 'RE-LIVE' this fine adventure.
SO TO ALL YOU GAMERS: if you don't want this to happen to you, go into the AppData Folder ON A REGULAR BASIS and BACK UP your save games somewhere else or you too will find yourself in my miserable state....busted!
