Save system
Early Access version
Currently, the save and loading system is mixed:
- You can save at any time by accessing the save interface with F6 key. However, be careful to save in a safe place—not in Airlock, elevators, or other dynamic locations, as bugs may occur. This will be refined soon, and with the introduction of difficulty selection, saving will be dependent on the difficulty level selected.
- By default, progress is also saved after sleeping in bed;
- You can load the game from the start menu by selecting save
In Demo version
- Saves occur after sleeping only;
- You can load the game from the start menu by pressing continue
