Save System

Endacopia handles saving differently between the demo and the full game. After patch 1.04, the full game supports Steam Cloud for the single save file — 1.07 adds title-screen achievement sync and refines volume controls (F9 reset, Shift + +/−). Protect progress before the Saw Box and Stay secret runs.

Demo vs Full Game

Feature	Demo	Full Game
Save system	None	Wandering save points
Save files	N/A	One save file at a time
Steam Cloud	N/A	Yes from patch 1.04 (unchanged in 1.05)
Volume keys	N/A	Shift + +/− and F9 reset from patch 1.07
Session length	20–40 minutes (single session)	~6 hours (+ extra runs for 100%)
Progress transfer	Does not carry to full game	N/A

The demo is a single continuous session. Closing mid-demo restarts from the beginning.

Steam Cloud (Patch 1.04, still in 1.05)

As of Endacopia 1.04, Steam can sync your save across PCs on the same account. Patch 1.05 did not replace Cloud — update to 1.05+ for latest fixes while keeping Cloud enabled:

1. Update Endacopia to 1.05+ (Patch Notes)
2. Steam → Settings → Cloud → enable Steam Cloud
3. Confirm Endacopia’s properties allow cloud for the game

Cloud syncs the same single slot — it does not add parallel ending slots. Still keep a manual userdata backup before:

• Opening Henry’s Saw Box (471) for Toy / Real Saw
• Starting a Stay secret run
• Optional boss fight vs avoid routing

Volume Tip (Patch 1.05–1.07)

Stay’s Office Morse puzzle (phone 277-5944 in the Jobs app) requires hearing coded audio. If Morse is too quiet:

• Press F9 to reset volume to 100% (1.07)
• Use Shift + + for deliberate increases (1.07)

See Telescope and Controls.

Full Game Save Points

According to Neoseeker’s Endacopia walkthrough, the full game features wandering save points:

• Save points move or appear as you explore
• You must actively seek them out
• Chapter structure: Prologue → Chapter I → Chapter II → Chapter III
• Exploration in Chapter I is non-linear

Best Practices

1. Save often — Before Clocky, Trapezist, Chameleon, AI, and Henry
2. Before the Saw Box — Escape vs Return (Endings · Roger)
3. Near-complete Chapter I save — Required comfort for Stay retries
4. After major puzzles — Especially Office Morse / fishing secrets
5. Before optional crash content — Bride route

One Save File Limit

Only one save file at a time means:

• Parallel ending runs require overwrites or external backups
• Fight vs avoid boss achievements need multiple playthroughs (Achievements)
• Cloud does not give you four ending slots — it only mirrors the one file

Chapter Structure

• Prologue — House sequence (demo overlap)
• Chapter I — Body-part hubs: Circus, Office, Timesville via Green Hills
• Chapters II–III — Saw choice, optional bosses, Misery Town, ending epilogues

See Walkthrough and Henry Boss.

What Happens on Death?

• Combat deaths — Restart the current fight; exploration progress kept
• Demo — Quit = full restart
• Full game — Load last wandering save (Cloud restores the synced file on another PC)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I save in the demo? A: No. Finish in one sitting or restart.

Q: Does Cloud remove the need for wandering save points? A: No. You still save in-world; Cloud only syncs that file.

Q: Where is the save file on disk? A: Typically under Steam userdata for AppID 2684630. Copy the folder before major branches.

Q: Do save points appear in the demo hallway? A: No — wandering saves are a full-game feature.
