It should save automatically. Most of the times where I've reloaded it put me pretty much where I left off.

I googled something to do with the game and what I assume is a pretty big plot point came up in one of the blurbs. Dumb by me, I know.

I've gotten several totems, clues, and was on Chapter 3, but everything has been reset to nothing. Should I reinstall the game before I make another attempt at a playthrough?
I actually ended up with a corrupted save file and lost all my progress, lol. Wtf. I wouldnt carenas much if i could skip the cut scenes, but now i have to watch houra of this shit just to get back to where i was.

Made it to the end with only one death on my first playthrough.
I ended up hating Mike but liking him by the end
Ashley was a great character.
I feel like Jessica got cut out too early
All in all, I really liked it.

(The bonding with the wolf did it for me)
Ashley was a great character.
I feel like Jessica got cut out too early
especially if she lives at the end. There is too little development for her.
All in all, I really liked it.

Does anyone who has beaten it have an estimate how long it took?

Took me 7 hours and change, but I sped through it.
It's kind of hard playing this game and not somehow insert my personality. I mean, if this was a real horror film, I'd think that some of the characters will probably behave differently from the way they behave in my game. And they behave differently because I picked the path that I'd take IF I were them.
But I can't help but wonder if I should be more like the character, which I find hard to do.

Do collectibles carry forward through playthroughs? Or if I want to find them all do I have to do it in one run?
If you start a new game, they disappear, but you can use episode select after finishing the game to go back and get what you missed.
As far as I'm aware.

This is objectively correct information. If you get them via Episode Select they save immediately.

So in my first play through everyone died
Can I just go to episode select and start from the chapter where my first character died and play till the end for the trophies for everyone living? Or do I need to start the whole game over?

Played up until Chapter 9, really liking it a lot!
It's funny; it's been the type of game I've secretly been hoping for a while, but didn't know it'd be this one.
Sometimes I just want to be engrossed in a story (especially one with meaningful choices!) without the often times filler-to-be-filler gameplay. It just feels deeply satisfying, after playing game after game of 70+ hour RPGs to get that sort of story choice (not that I don't enjoy them!).
Can't wait to play more and more rare for me, again! I've lost 2 so far in my first playthrough.

Okay thats good.
Want my friend to discover all the clues himself when I bring UD & my PS4 over.
Had this preloaded since monday but waiting for my gf to go out of town this weekend before i jump in.
Do people find the butterfly effect (the actual graphical effect when you make decisions) distracting or immersion breaking?
I haven't heard anyone mention that it can be turned off. Seems weird that you wouldn't be able to turn it off to prevent you from knowing what decisions will have a rippling effect

Yes.
Not at all. It appears in the top-left corner for a few seconds and there's also a screen flash. It's cool because you know something important just went down, and it's creepy because you don't know if you just screwed a character over.
Oh, damn. That blows I'm sorry dude.
It doesn't bother me. It's a nice visual for keeping track, "okay, I just changed the course of something."
What bothers me more is that the text in the upper left screen is snug in the corner. It's an eyesore to say the least - I wish they had a screen adjust option.
And I'm still pissed at the lack of invert Y option.
Options!

It seemed really smooth for me.

I wouldn't call it smooth, it feels ok in some parts and awful in others
Though I feel it may be a camera/frame pacing issue rather than actual framerate that's causing the stutter appearance
Hope DF does an analysis because it really does look like it dips to 20s or even teens at times

might be a small detail I am missing somewhere..but is it ever mentioned throughout the game that
there is no cell phone signal? There is that one part near the dollhouse where Chris is looking at his phone and Ashley says "Are you tweeting",, or something like that. Why didnt they just call someone?
The tweeting bit was sarcastic. They're up on a mountain in the middle of the Canadian wilderness, of course there's no signal.
I think it is.
Consider yourself lucky for not noticing!
Found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWOWDU3PgYU
No wonder it feels bad. It constantly fluctuates, and the frame pacing is all over the place

my sarcasm meter is dead. But wait, I just remembered another point...
at the very beginning, isnt Chris getting a call or text? You are given the option to snoop, I never did though. Would signal have been gone at that point

Yeah honestly I'm pretty bad at noticing bad frame rates.
That was before
they went up in the cable car.
Don't just say that without putting the bluff in a spoiler bar.
Didn't think that was a spoiler but if you say so..

Yeah, I figured it hung around 25FPS a lot, you can tell. Luckily it's not a shooter or anything that benefits from a high framerate.
No, that wasn't a spoiler at all.

Personally, yes. It's awesome and a different experience. Also it's pretty lengthy it should come in at 8 hours to complete, maybe a bit more. Also makes you want to replay it just so you can pick different options the second time around. You basically learn what to do for the next playthrough by making mistakes in your first one. I'm 7 hours in and I believe I have a couple chapters left, but not sure. Each chapter takes about 50 minutes to an hour I would say.
Just started up chapter 4 before ending today's session. The game starts very strong; the graphics are amazing despite the shitty, fluctuating framerate, the performances are solid with distinguishable and catchy characters, and finally I was quite surprised by the amount of exploration you can actually do.
I hope the game keeps up for the rest of the chapters, but so far so really good!

No, I meant the thing you thought was a bluff but wasn't. I wanna know where you are/were in the game.

I think they meant they wanted you to say what the bluff was, but in spoiler tags?
I think they are asking you to say what happened lol
EDIT: Lmao beat all in the same minute.

The game ramps up even more, haven't had a letdown yet and I'm deep into it. There's like consecutive chapters in a row that just up everything the game offered before.

It's cool it was an obvious trope anyway (what isn't in this game?). Absolutely loving it. It's everything I wanted ha. Having an absolute blast and really liking all the characters. Might have just had my first death but have to turn it off for the night!

I bought it digitally and my PS4 sounds like a jet engine when playing it.
