Using Autosave

The game creates an automatic savegame slot and stores the recent progress each time the game is played.

Only one slot

There is only one AutoSave slot which will contain the last game session. When starting a new game or loading a savegame this slot is always overwritten.

More to know about AutoSave:

• Create your own savegame slots. The basic idea behind autosave is just to preserve your progress in case of game crashes.
• AutoSave is a special slot that will not appear for selection when manually saving.
• If you don't want to see AutoSave in the savegames list, you can hide it in Settings.

Loading a SaveGame

To resume an earlier saved game:

1. Go to Main Menu. If you are currently playing, exit the current game using Pause Button and return to Main Menu.

More to know about Loading:

• The menu item Continue Saved Game is not accessible before the game was saved at least once.
• The number overlay indicates the Episode of the slot's progress. A game saved in Episode 1 will have an overlay number of 1 and so on.
