==Saving mechanics==
The game saves after each completed level (When entering the next level) as well as each death. When coming back to the game if a ongoing run is saved, you have the option to start over or to load your save.
This can be exploited across multiple days to effectively create a savestate system. You can go to sleep after each won level, which will save your ongoing game in the stardew valley game save file, and if you die, reloading the day will effectively reload the previous Journey Of The Prairie King save.
