I noticed that Brad had a bunch of saves in the quicklook. So far I only have one and the only way I can get the game to save is by going to load a save, it saves first. There must be something I'm missing? I'm on ps4.
The Witness
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Jan 26, 2016
An exploration-focused puzzle-adventure game led by the creator of the 2008 indie game Braid. While exploring a quiet but colorful island, players must solve a series of maze-like puzzles on numerous electronic puzzle consoles.
How do you save?
Going to the menu does save the game but it overwrites your current save. The game will make a new save slot every 100 panels. If you want to keep a specific save you will have to make a copy in the PS4 settings or in roaming app data on PC.
Oh boy. I was under the impression it just autosaved after puzzles (maybe that still is the case?). I hope I don't get home to find my progress reverted back, that would be a real bummer. The last time I played, I just quit out. I don't think I went into the menu (since there isn't a quit option anyways).
Good question. I just got screwed after a 9 hour session yesterday, for some reason, the game knows nothing about it.
Would be great to find out what happened. This shit makes me not want to touch it again. I appreciate the minimalism
Mr. Blow, but I sure as fuck don't want this to happen.
It definitely* autosaves because I've had it crash 2 or 3 times (on PC) and not lost more than a few minutes of progress.
*as far as I can tell, at least
I'd like to know how to see the save where it says how many puzzles you've solved on pc.
In the menu, click on "Load game" and it will show you your save files and (what I'm assuming is) the number of puzzles you've completed.
@bbalpert: Thanks a bunch! weird thing is I'm positive load game was not an option till I tried it just now. I started a new game right before I saw your post, so maybe you have to have more than one game to load?
