I got rolled back to a time just before I did two things:

Do a jumping puzzle and open the chest + get the achievment
Get a heart event

That’s fine, no biggie.

But I go back to do the chest again – I don’t have the achievment so it gives it to me, but the chest is already open and looted – and the loot isn’t in my inventory. How exactly does this work?

It’s not a big deal because it was crummy loot anyway, I’m just curious as to why the heart and achievement reset but the chest and its loot didn’t.

That very limited hour of the day you have to spent on this game..

Basically.. it’s as though that hour of you playing the game and making progress never existed.

I know what a rollback is.

I don’t know why/how achievements and map progress can be rolled back but chest status/loot isn’t. The game was rolled back to a state where I got neither the achievement nor opened the chest – yet somehow the chest is already marked as used (and its loot is not in my inventory). How is that possible?
