Look for a context change
Think about the last place your discoveries were visible. Was it a browser tab, an installed app, another browser profile or a different device? ORBIT stores progress locally and does not sign you into a shared player account, so another context can look like a fresh game.
Return to the original launch route before deleting or reinstalling anything. A link opened from a message may take you into a different browsing context from your usual bookmark. An earlier local prototype also does not automatically transfer progress to the public game address.
Check what kind of progress changed
A displayed personal best belongs to a companion and course, with record versioning used by the game. Compare the same selection before deciding a best is missing. A different best number is not the same observation as every discovery disappearing.
Accumulated cleared gaps determine discoveries, while preferences store choices such as companion, forest and sound. Note which of these changed. If choices remain familiar but a particular record differs, that is useful evidence that the entire local save may not have been erased.
Know the recovery boundary
Clearing the game’s site data, removing the relevant browser profile or browser-managed data removal can destroy the local values. ORBIT does not have a player database or supported cloud restore that can recover them. A shared score image can document a result but cannot import that result back into the save.
If you cannot explain the change, report your device, browser, game address and what remains visible. Preserve the original context during investigation. Continuing to reset storage makes it harder to distinguish a selection issue from actual data loss.
