i was having a lot of fun until i realized that the only way to save is to find these reels and then put them into the film camera. in 44 minutes of gameplay i found one single reel meaning in 44 minutes of gameplay i was able to save once. horrible game decision since you basically need to rely on being able to find a rare item to be able to save. loved everything about this game in terms of gameplay, but unfortunately having to search and search to hopefully be able to find an item to be able to save is just not good game design.

better game design would be to have these reels activate these cameras permanently and make them save hubs that you can run back to.

the chapters although continue off one another, can be started at any time and you can go back at any time. The saving I'd say is only really useful if you really need to leave in the middle of a level, as you can beat it in one session.

This game is heavily inspired by old survival horror games, and a major aspect of some of them, especially classic resident evil, is set save points that require items. Resident evil 1, 2, 3, 0, and code veronica all do this. plus, this game is level based, and it saves between levels. Its like being mad that l4d2 only saves in the safe rooms. Plus once you beat the levels you can go back and try and get better times or faster scores, which many people active in the discord do

Just because there are games with permadeath features doesn't mean that this feature belongs in this game. My point stands that there should be better saving mechanics

again there are similar games like that with strong "permadeath" mechanics. its odd but definitely not new

okay but it didnt feel like it was formatted like a roguelike or anything similar. it felt like there were different chapters you were meant to complete. i like to explore each and every room and do things meticulously but if im meant to beat a whole chapter in one play session then theres not much gameplay here given theres only like 7 chapters or something like that

theres alot of games that force you to only have one run, which is the whole premise of trying new things
