Hi all,
Next version coming out shortly will finally include the ability to load and save progress through the game. Discrepant has a number of opportunities for swift and violent death, sometimes with little warning, and although the game is designed to be played again and again from the start, sudden death ain't always welcome!
The game works around a time limitation scenario. You have 1 hour to complete each chapter. Literally. However, you will initially find yourself exploring, distracted, and challenged, and find your time runs out rather smartly. The next time you instantiate, you can shortcut the previous time wasting and move quickly through the mandatory steps to get ahead.
For this reaosn we will likely never enable instant save/load - although we have that working to some degree, and will stick to the initial plan, checkpointing.
Of course, keen to get feedback on this during open Early Access!
Thanks to all closed Early Access testers - please keep the feedback coming.
