New Game should make a new save slot

[Kuroi]

I didn't realize that the game doesn't have it's own slots for saves. I just got to a philosopher's stone, but I noticed that there was an achievement that I wanted, so I launched a new game to get it.
It overwrote all the autosaves, including the one where I just got a philosopher's stone. I lost that entire save now.

You can have multiple saves you know.

> Create a new save > Name that save

Then when you want to save on that particular save > Overwrite Save

[Kuroi]

Yeah, but I didn't really think of that. I thought that making a new game would result in a different save slot automatically. It was ultimately my own fault, but it would still be nice if they added a feature that makes a new slot with different saves to prevent situations like this.

Sucks. My son just had the same experience. He only had auto-save files which were overwritten after he launched a new game.
