Well, most players just confront new SCPs without trying to read up on them. Which is sad but it happens.
Though I have to admit I completely MISSED the Hazmat suit during my first encounter with 008.

Given, it's an easy fix. After having set an internal "Death Counter" the Autosave feature would simply deactivate.
Maybe even manual saving shouldn't work. It could give a message from 990 saying something like "Your end is drawing closer... this wouldn't save you now"

Eternal Darkness made you unable to save with great danger or nearing death around yourself.

The autosave could happen at moments that are very important, getting infected with the zomb-zomb virus would not be one of them.

Autosaving while you're infected with SCP-008 is the players fault. imo

There's nothing the player can do about it though, so how can they be blamed for it?

How about it doesn't overwrite the previous file? It makes a completely new file when it autosaves again.

That sounds like it might work, though maintaining so many saves would be hard, and the player doesn't HAVE to enter 008's chamber.

Also, as mentioned by SCP-500, it could be an optional setting when starting a new game.

Safe - Normal Saving
Euclid - Autosave Only
Keter - Permanent Death
