Can you save your game when you want to?

I only ask because you could not save in The Walking Dead - it would only save automatically when you reached a save point.

Only having automatic save points when you reach a point in the story ruin a game IMHO.

No you can't. The point of this is that you can't just go back and change your decisions, which is what the game is all about.

Thank you for the response. But frankly this save design sucks.

I'm not interested in going back and changing my descisions - just having the freedom to save the game when I wish to. For example if something comes up in real life, I can easily save the game and exit when I wish.

Having to reach the next point in the story to save the damn game is annoying for me. It makes me feel like the game is running my life and I am slave to the software.

TellTale's descision for this type of save design is bad, in my opinion. But I understand their reason for making it this way. It creates dramatic tension knowing that your descisions are permanent - la-dee la-dee laaa. Yea it causes me tension because I cannot save the dam game when I wish.

Anyways thanks for the response and listening to my rant. I won't be buying this one :(

There isn't much of a gap between each save point, so it isn't much of a problem really.

Thanks Hobbes,

The gaps between saves in The Walking Dead were too far apart - I gave up on that awful mess because of the save design.

Are the gaps between automatic saves smaller in this one?

[Hobbes]

It felt like it, that little save icon was always popping up. You move more quickly through different points so I think it brings up my chances for the save.

roger that Hobbes - thanks
