The No-Nonsense Breakdown: Auto-Save to the Rescue (or Not)
Unlike some games with save points plentiful enough to rival a butterfly sanctuary, Detroit: Become Human operates on a system of automatic checkpoints. These bad boys appear sporadically throughout each chapter, like a digital guardian angel whispering, "Don't worry, your terrible choices are safe... for now."
Here's the catch: There's no manual saving. You can't just hit pause and declare, "This is a good spot to take a break from all this android angst." The game decides when to bless you with a checkpoint, and you just gotta deal with it. (Though, let's be honest, who needs a manual save when you're making all the right choices anyway, right? wink wink)
Uh Oh! Did I Miss a Checkpoint? Here's What NOT to Do:
- Alt + F4 your way out of frustration. This digital tantrum might feel good in the moment, but trust me, you'll just be back at the last checkpoint, stewing in your own android-saving woes.
- Spam the "Exit to Main Menu" button. The game will kindly warn you that unsaved progress will be lost, but hey, maybe it's lying? (Spoiler alert: It's not.)
Instead: Breathe deeply, channel your inner zen android, and replay the section. Consider it a chance to redeem yourself and maybe make a different choice this time around. Who knows, you might even unlock a cool new flowchart path! (Although, if you keep messing up and Connor keeps getting decommissioned, maybe lay off the violent options for a bit...)
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
So How Do I Know When the Game Saved?
Ah, the million-dollar question (or in this case, the cybernetic implant question). Unfortunately, there's no flashy "SAVED!" notification to ease your worries. Your best bet is to keep an eye out for the little blue circle in the upper right corner of the screen. If it appears and then disappears, congratulations, you've been checkpoint-blessed!
Alternatively, you can use the flowchart to gauge your progress. Each completed section of the flowchart indicates a checkpoint. This can be a handy way to see how far back you might need to replay if disaster strikes (read: you accidentally shoot Markus in the face).
