Death's Door is a dense game, filled with shortcuts, secrets, and collectibles. A thorough run of Death's Door will keep players engaged for well over a dozen hours.

Now that Death's Door has hit the Playstation and Switch stores, there will be plenty of players experiencing Acid Nerve and Devolver Digital's Zelda-like for the first time. Unfamiliar players might be worried about losing their hard-earned progress, however.

It's an understandable fear, especially considering how difficult it can be to reach some of Death's Door's shortcuts. Thankfully, the game's save system is easy to understand and use.

Death's Door's Autosaves

Like most modern games, Death's Door has an autosave system. As expected, the game will occasionally flash a symbol at the corner of the screen, telling the player that the game is being saved. As long as they don't force the game closed during that time, possibly corrupting the save, then they'll have no problems.

There's the question of when the game autosaves, however. The most obvious example is when crossing Death's Door's titular doors. Not only do these connect the game's different areas, but they do triple duty as respawn points and save points.

Every time the player makes some sort of definitive progress, like upgrading a spell, defeating a boss, or unlocking one of Death's Door's various weapons, the game will also autosave. Keep in mind, however, that the respawn point is still the last door the player entered, not the latest point of progress.

Death's Door's Manual Saves

For players who are unsure when their last autosave was, there's a way to force the game to make a new save for them. Similar to Outer Wilds' save system, players can manually initiate a save by stopping the game.

They shouldn't do so by turning off the machine it's being played on, or stopping the entire application. Instead, they should go to the pause menu, and select "Return to Title Screen." Before it ends the session, the game will save. When the player re-opens the game, they'll still be at the last door they touched, but any progress they made before will still be there.

Death's Door is not perfect, and hopefully, future updates will fill in the few areas that are lacking, but thankfully major glitches, progress loss, and save instability are not issues players need to worry about.

Death's Door is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
