(I am assuming you are not using Android.) It works the same way as it does for every Ren'Py game: magically, without having to do anything. The save files are stored in two locations to ensure that it is very hard to lose them accidentally. One is inside the game's directory, in subdirectory game/saves. The other is in a standardized location that depends only on your operating system and the game. Therefore:
- Want to continue playing on another computer? Just copy the entire game directory to the other computer and continue where you stopped.
- Want to update the game, then continue playing where you stopped? You can just delete the old game directory, unzip the new one, and continue playing.
- The main thing that can go wrong is that the game developer is a perfectionist who changes code lines of the previous version while updating the game. The way that Ren'Py save files work is that they store the current line number and the values of the variables. If the developer changes the wrong things, save files can become incompatible with the new version. Fortunately that's a relatively rare problem.
- If you want to be absolutely sure you don't lose your save files: Unzip the new version, start it and check all your saves are still there and the important ones actually work. Only then delete the old version.
