Hello Hannah - This thread is pretty dated and Peter has another role here at Articulate. We do not have any more power than you do and cannot recover corrupt files.
There may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
2) Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
Hope that helps :)
Thank you so much for this. You saved the day!
