I think an autosave feature would be a good addition. How it could work is that if you enter certain rooms then it saves for you. This only happens with checkpoints and really important rooms, since it can trap you in a sticky situation. You could still manually save. Would it be possible to implement?

I honestly don't like the manually save feature, and an auto save feature can make the player actually fear their own life instead of being like "Oh I'll just save right here so I wont have to worry about anything if I die".

I think it should be an option that can be turned off and on.

Maybe a new difficulty.

Safe - Normal saving
Euclid - Auto-save only.
Keter - No saving

Sounds like a great idea to me. Although there must be some logic behind the autosave feature. I don't think a timed one is what we're looking for. Instead, an autosave each time you make progression in the game sounds better to me. For instance:

-Found a new key card
-Entered Heavy Containment Zone

or even when you've escaped the pocket dimension.

But what if you did a horrible mistake e.g. drinking something that will kill you slowly, then you walk into a room where an autosave happens and you die after that??? Your whole save would be fucked up...

You do realize that happens in almost every other horror game.

Um, I don't recall there ever being a horror game which let you save during a prolonged-death.

Same thought... where is the sense in loading your save and dieing the next minute.

I remember I once went through 914 on very fine and saved the game after realizing the topspeed... bad mistake! You know what happened... and now think of an autosave after that or for example after being infected with the Zombie Plague :/

That would put the player in a situation where they have to be quick and sharpen their problem solving skills. Also, wouldn't the player be smart enough to put on the hazmat suit and re-contain SCP-008?
