The Steam edition of My Child New Beginnings gives you three save slots, and each slot is a separate playthrough rather than three save points in one run. You can park one slot in the middle of Book One, start a second run with a different approach and keep a third for a specific chapter. All three are backed up to the Steam cloud automatically.

My Child New Beginnings save slots: three playthroughs

The three slots are three separate instances of the game on any device. Each one can sit at a different chapter and be played a different way, so one run can stay in progress while another is tried from the start. Because the Steam edition has no real-time day lock, a slot can be stopped at any point and resumed later. One of them can hold a child carried over from the first game, and that import is explained here.

Cloud backup

Saves are backed up to the Steam cloud automatically, so a slot can be continued on another Steam-compatible PC without any manual copying.

Mobile is different

The mobile build is free-to-play with its own cloud save system, its own features and its own economy. A mobile save cannot be moved into the Steam edition - the developer is direct that cross-platform features are not practical here - and mobile also gates chapters behind real-time days and rewarded ads, which is why the three-slot setup is a Steam-only feature.

Which slot to use first

The Steam edition is a complete premium edition of Book One with up to 34 chapters ready to play from start to finish, so the first slot is best spent playing it straight through. The second and third are useful for trying a different opening attitude or a different set of chapter outcomes, since each playthrough assembles a different sequence of chapters. How many chapters you can reach is covered here.

There is one more thing a slot can carry across: a child you raised in the first game. Bringing a child over from My Child Lebensborn is explained here.

FAQ

Can I bring my child over from My Child Lebensborn?

Yes. The Steam edition can import a child raised in My Child Lebensborn, so the story continues with the same child instead of a new one.
