Empathy: Path of Whispers Save System Update
Empathy: Path of Whispers Patch Notes — May 30, 2017
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hi everyone! We've been following all the feedback, and it been great seeing that many enjoy the game. However, one of the things that became apparent is that our old automatic save system didn't hold up to the player's curiosity in the Empathy's open world.
We want to thank you for your patience with this, and today we're introducing an update that brings manual saves and save slots, allowing players to backtrack and load from any point of the game. The automatic saving is still there too, to keep player's progress up to date, but now writes to a new slot up to 15 at any time, overwriting the oldest ones. The only current limit to manual save slots is disk space. Please note that game always saves on selecting the exit option.
If you are continuing game from older save, "load/save game" will at first be unavailable until several auto or manual saves are created after continuing from old save.
We continue listening to your feedback, and you are welcome to contact us either here on the forums, or on [email protected] with any questions or issues!
