Revisiting a solved murder scene and clicking the corpse or re-reading Ethan's note launches an auto-save. Once you do either one, you save your current progress and imitate a 'manual' save.

Thanks Timo,will do.

Yes.....as Timo says, if I go back to where one of Ethan's notes are, and read it again, it seems to trigger an auto-save for me. So at least, then, you won't have to redo what you have already done.

where are Ethan's notes

They are all around in the different scenes. You could look at a walkthrough to find out where they all are.

I am about halfway through the game and am loving it. The new (#3) patch helped a bit with this save mess. Players who are worried should know that some of the scenes are very short and the times between saves isn't that large of a problem. Indeed I just finished one scene where there was less that ten minutes between saves (And I am NOT very bright or very fast with these games.)

That's what I found too, Haze.

Oooooh !! Lots of "saving" help on this thread !! Thank you all very much

This was a great game. Loved it! Took me over 9 hours to finish it, but i did a lot of looking around, enjoying the scenery. I didn't care much for the save system, just took a little time to get use to it. When I had to leave the game, it didn't take long to get back to where I stopped playing.
The first time was the longest. I wasn't sure what I was doing then!
Thanks

I was seven hours playing it, but over an hour was lost in having to go back because I'd not reached a save point. (I passed up a spot that would have saved the game.) I ended up staying up most of the night to play it through so that I didn't have to start over again. In spite of the odd saving system (which I understand has something to do with the Unreal engine), the game was engaging. It had an interesting twist with the "ghosts" and was certainly beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed it Imari! I still have to find time to play.
