Attractio is an indie first-person puzzle game developed with the GC Engine (GameCoder Studios' in-house engine) where the player has to solve challenging puzzles manipulating gravity. These puzzles challenge the usual way of thinking about physics and gravity. In Attractio each object has its own gravity direction which can be changed by the player.

I can not continue my game. After clicking on 'continue' in the main menu a loading screen is displayed for about 5 seconds, then the screen turns black. If I open the Task Manager attractio's window is turning gray with white centered letters telling me, that the game is 'loading...'. I tried waiting for about 5 minutes but the game does not respond.
I also tried starting a new game, which is working fine... but after restarting the game I am still unable to continue the game.

:o, that's weird.
Let me know if I understood well: You can play the game from the beggining but if you try to continue your previous game, the program freezes while loading?
If that's the case, you can try to use the "Select Level" option, please let us know if that worked (that information could be useful to locate the bug).
EDIT: Another question: what's your operating system?

That's correct. Starting a new game -> works fine ; Trying to continue previous game -> game freezes

Where can i select a level? I can't find it...

The option should be below "continue" and above "extras".
In order to be able to see that option, you need to complete the first level(after that you should be see another loading screen, and the second level starts in a small room when you have to stack to boxes over an edge).
Another think that maybe you would like to try is to delete the folder %appdata%\attractioearlyaccess and start the game again (the folder should be automatically created)

hmm... There's no "select level" in my menu... is it possible that the game has no privileges to create save-games on my machine (i.e. no privileges to create files)? So if I try to load a game there is no file to load which causes the freezing? I played like 2 hours straight and i'm sure i made it to the second level in that time... Although my User Account Control is completely deactivated I will start the game explicitly with administrator privileges. I also deleted the folder you mentioned. I'll play another few hours and tell you if that helps...

Hi, if the game was able to create the folder that I told you, that means that it can create the files; also, if you see the "continue" option, that means that there is a save-game , I'm suspecting that for some weird reason the save game is being creating wrong.
Can you send us your %appdata%/AttractioEarlyAccess folder to contact@gamecoderstudios.com ? if so, please be clear what's your issue(or copy the URL of this post), your issue it's very different than the other ones, and we need to distinguish.
