Hi Carrie,
I haven't played this one. I've had a Google, and there are several people as you say who are questioning the save function, but with no answers forthcoming that I can see. I hope a member here is playing or has played, and is able to guide us.
What I did read is that the game is extremely short -- around a couple of hours -- so perhaps it does rely on an autosave feature, as you suggest. Puzzling.

Edit: Cross-posted with Marian. Ugh, I'm not fond of autosaves only.
