Veterans of the supernatural franchise may be familiar with its low-key saving system, but new players often find themselves running from evil with no place to save. It may be a bit clunkier than other July releases, but the game does offer two ways to save. First and foremost, an autosave feature, so chances are, if a player’s been playing, the game’s been saved. That said, players are welcome to toggle autosave on or off through the “Option” menu.

Although players can also tweak their audio and subtitle options through this menu, there is a distinct lack of a “Save/Load” feature. If autosaving isn’t secure enough, players are also invited to save their progress by making phone calls. That is, to save the game in Deadly Premonition 2, simply approach an in-game telephone and interact with it using the A button. Once a player interacts with a phone, they will be able to select a data slot and save their data accordingly.
Thankfully, phones are conveniently placed throughout the game so that cautious players can maintain their progress without worry - what’s more, these save-capable phones can be easily identified by the exclamation marks hovering over them. Deadly Premonition 2 may be under fire for rough technical issues, but at least the game never makes saving progress feel like too much of an ordeal.
It’s also worth mentioning that these telephone save points can serve as a sort of roadmap/radar, too. If a player finds themselves stumbling upon a suspiciously placed payphone, perhaps at a doorway, it may be indicative of an imminent boss encounter (or some other sort of important occasion.) As a general rule of thumb, players are encouraged to look out for these phones on their way to beating Deadly Premonition 2, and save progress conveniently before exciting moments.
Deadly Premonition 2 is available now on Switch.
