Like the people who commented before me, I'm unable to save the game too. When I quit, I have to start my playthrough from scratch. 💔 If there's a work around, please let me know, this game looks really promising! 🥺
As the other comment stated, have you been using saving points? Or is the issue that you ARE using saving points, but when you open up the game again there isn't any option to continue? Please describe the problem in more detail so I can try to find what's going wrong.
Thank you for telling me! I asked on a forum for some help regarding this issue, and received this response from user ATT_Turan: "That sounds to me like an issue with permissions. If your players put the game in a directory where they don't have write permissions, the save files wouldn't be created. Windows 11 does some screwy things with permissions, I've found. The Program Files folder, which is the default for a lot of programs, has write permissions disabled by default and it can be difficult to change (I found it impossible with a moderate amount of effort). You can ask them to right-click on their saves folder and see if the read-only box is filled in. They can try unchecking it and seeing if the change saves, otherwise they might need to try putting the game in a different directory. It could also be an issue with an overly aggressive anti-virus/malware software."
Does this sound relevant to you? Are you using Windows 11? Is it possible to take your saves folder off read-only? Are you able to move the game out of your Program Files folder?
Thoroughly loving Blackout Hospital so far Vasilis loves to talk to the player quite a bit! xD (Will put more videos in the comments of this comment as the videos are put up!) :D
I was NOT ready to see Ollie down bad for Reginald, not that Ollie isn't like that about almost everybody... LMAOO 😭😭 Anyway I'm still playing routes but this game is really fun so far! There's a lot of things I've still snooped around for and Vasilis is literally so fun I love them 💕💕 Art is amazing as always and the puzzles are great!
Spoiler!:
I did not! Expect the plot twist with Reginald... 😔
This game is amazing! *__* I remember telling you it would have been worth the wait and oh boy it was! It's so well done on a technical standpoint, but more importantly it has so much heart into it and it's really fun to play. It's really difficult to save in a point, put down the game and tell "ok, I'll be back later" because I was always yearning for more xD all the characters are lovely, I wish some of them had more dialogue!
Btw I found a little bug (and I wanted to ask a question too, nothing bad don't worry!) can I DM you on twitter?
Hey anytime I close the game for some reason my save file doesn't save so I have to do everything again Idk what's wrong but can you please fix it? (If you have to know I use window)
hii when i entered the doctors lounge everything froze and i had to open and close the game,, idk if this was something worth mentioning buttttt i did anywayys
This was so incredible omg ! I LOVED every minute of this and even if it took me like 9 hours to play it was so worth it. The little secrets and bits of detail you added were so amazing 😭this game is a work of art. I do have one question though, which is a slight spoiler for anyone reading, it doesn't pertain to any endings though.
I was wondering about the one quest with Angel, after finding her phone in the maze, she asks you to give a message to Rune, but I could never find him after that. I was wondering if that was meant to be the end of that quest or if you were actually able to find rune and I just didn't look enough? Thank you sm !!
Don't worry you didn't miss anything, that was the end of the quest! I'm so happy you enjoyed the game so much, thank you for your wonderful words!! <3

Absolutely loving this game so far!!! I am always so happy to play the games you release, and I can't wait to keep playing!
I have been so excited to play this and having a ball so far! Vasilis has such good lines XD

Ah nevermind! We save through saving points lol
When I close the game and come back it never saves my save file! is there a way to fix this?
You need to look for the smiling emojis, they work as saving points!
As the other comment stated, have you been using saving points? Or is the issue that you ARE using saving points, but when you open up the game again there isn't any option to continue? Please describe the problem in more detail so I can try to find what's going wrong.
Sorry for not specifying, i am using the saving points but it won't save my progress :(
