Why no multiple save slots?

[hawkhill]

As awesome as this game is, it's hard to replay this game, knowing that all your exploration and decisions in the previous save will be undone forever.
It'd be nice to have multiple save slots to share the game with someone, without risking loosing all your work.
I know you can make more save copies through the game files, but I don't want to risk tampering with the files.
If multiple save slots would be too much for a game like this, let me know.
Thank you.

Not even close. It's to let a friend play the game, without reseting my progress, or having him/her make decisions in my progression.

Damn. In that sense, its unfortunate that you can't let your friend play the game.

I like the idea of not having accessible save slots, but I can see why you would want some for your situation.

also just being able to play the game again and make different choices without deleting your original save would be nice too

There is an easy way to let friends play the game. Save games are linked to Windows users. So make a separate Windows user and you can play without problem. This is also the recommended solution for families.

I appreciate the advice. However, I normally only share my games with friends who visit, as everyone else in my family aren't really video gamers. All the other games I'ved shared with them either had multiple save slots, or were linear and short enough to finish in a quick few hours.
I wouldn't really want to make a whole another account just for one game, whenever I have visitors.

Are the saves not stored on your hard drive?

You got on steam and managed to get this far, so let's assume you can use google.

My son and I want to play this game independently, but we share the same Steam account. I can't play the game on either of our 2 computers because of the save limitation... I basically can't play the game until my 11 year old beats it. Definitely a big disappointment.

After beating the game I now better understand this multiple save slots ideology. And reading your guys situations has made me believe that this game should have 2 to 3 saves slots that are not easily manipulatable; being able to control how & when to save or load should not be accessible just as in base game atm.

That's all I'm asking for... I guess the dev has a vision for the game that does not include being able to go back and re-play content, but it creates the problems people have posted about. Having different save slots will not be conducive to save scumming.

Save scum what, There's barely any reason to go back to a previous save.

creating multiple save-slots doesn't mean you suddenly allow back-tracking.
similiar to how games like diablo, poe and co. handle it: you create different "characters".
just call it "profile" and that's that...tbh. i'm kinda baffeled that you have to delete your save to create a clean slate game....it's 2020.
