Is this game strictly rogue like or are there means to fast forward to some chapters. Are there global progression elements?
Right now, all the game has the the very basic backbone of a roguelite. Supposedly 2 items are unlocked by beating some bosses, in actuality : I've yet to see these two items show up and on top of that : they unlock again at the end of each run provided the bosses/triggers have been beaten. There is also some currency that goes over from run to run I think ? but that currency is practically useless, it just lets you buy a few perks from special rooms.
You technically can get a save that sends you at a specific point but it consists of multiple files in the unity folder as the game will check if the save file and the ones in the unity folder are matching.
That being said : there are 2 cheat systems who both work very well , yes it takes a long time to reach some of the later stage (I think a single run averages around 40 minutes for me ? but I'm not really rushing through anything)
