Finished Rapunzel and enjoyed it - and have now played the opening scenes of Fright - only to discover it doesn’t get “saved on exit” so I will have to re do some puzzles Guess I mustn’t have read the section in which that bit of info appeared I never had this problem with the game, Mad. It did save on exit. I can't remember ever having to redo any puzzles either. Odd. There are also 13 pages of game reviews and I did not see a single one that mentioned it not saving on exit - and the way reviewers complain about everything, someone would certainly have mentioned this. I would never mention it as a play possibility if it did not save on exit, because that would have been a dealbreaker for me. If you read this page on Big Fish here it might help you with troubleshooting this. There are Windows 10 suggestions toward the bottom of the page.

Thanks, Marian I’ll use that link you’ve provided tomorrow. The message I got from the game itself mentioned “auto saves at intervals” but not at exit

If I have time, I will download the game and check this out. It's so weird because I know I exited the game many times while playing, have played it twice, and never had to repeat puzzles after going back in. Maybe I have just lost my mind.

Hi again.
I played more of the game today, with the same result of course, that there was no save on exit, and I will have to re-play a portion once again next time I go into the game !!
In light of this I've submitted a Help Request to BF along with a DrFelix report.

Mad, I just started the game. I didn't see anything about the saves BUT it appears photos are taken at regular intervals so I'm wondering if those are the save points? I haven't gotten out of the game yet to test that theory out. So I did get the message about the periodic saves when I went to exit out of the game. There is some time between some of the saves. It's sort of different scenes but not exactly. I guess if you see the photo being taken and aren't sure about spending much more time, you should probably exit then. I played about 45 minutes. I'm not sure how many times it saved but I'd have to say maybe 5. It is a rather good game so far. I've played a lot more now and not noticing the photos being taken as often though I may just not be noticing them. I do really like this game. I hope you are able to play it, Mad.

Yes. I really like the game too😑
However, As the game decides WHEN a photo is taken, even if an auto save IS made at the time, that would still rule out manual saving.
Maybe as are going along you might be able to somehow clarify that oldbroad - and let me know ?? 🤓
With many people playing it, or having already played it, I’m surprised the subject hasn’t been mentioned before now ….
(And I probably won’t hear from BF until after the weekend.)

Well, I'm sure there isn't any manual saving if that's what you're asking. I am surprised too, that it's not mentioned in the reviews but then again, I really only did a very quick skim of them myself.
My only one small issue with the game so far is that I cannot increase the voice volume.
And honestly, I'm still not sure the photos are saves. I'm going back to look a reviews again.

Well, I finished the main game already. I didn't have to replay any puzzles or portions of the game. I believe there were some short clips repeated and then that was it. Unfortunately, the conversation at the end was hard for me to *catch* and the captioning went off screen too fast to read, so I missed stuff at the end. I'm not sure I understood the story but you know, this is not the first time I've had that problem. Finished the bonus chapter. I think it was supposed to help explain the story somehow but... I still very much enjoyed the game and puzzles!

Very glad to hear you enjoyed the game, oldbroad [ I don't understand though why I am having to replay sections when I come back to it if no one else is ]

Yes. I have watched a couple of times now and it seems that that IS when the game auto saves. So you are correct, thank you, oldbroad Not the best arrangement for me, though, as the time between the saves can be too long. [ I can't play the long sessions I once enjoyed because of health issues ] Anyway, I do like the game so will persevere the best I can [You said at some point in this thread that you also did get the "periodic saves" message coming on screen - but I can't find where you said it now ]
