6 years ago So, broadly, save / load is the way to go. The ink save state isn't enormously big so you don't actually have to save to disk; you can just shove save states into an array.
Note we limited rewind to each location, not every choice; and we didn't save/load the game state, only the ink state - game state was rewound "by hand" in code in whatever way was efficient.
I think by the later sorcery games the save was starting to get unwieldy, so we made a system that only saved the diff from one state to the next, but that's basically on top of the save/load of the ink; we just used it to reduce the save data down on collection, and build it back up again when it was needed.

I searched the tutorial page but could not find a specific feature in Ink language to rewind to previous stage of the game. I want the player be able to rewinds to his last selection every time he/she rewinds.
It seems I can probably do a workaround by saving each stage on disk and load when the player rewinds but this solution is not elegant. Another possible workaround probably to have an additional option that always rewinds to the previous selection but that still would not be elegant.
How did you guys add the rewind feature in the sorcery game series?
