Pragmata Save System Guide

Save terminals

• Identifiable by the cyan diamond hologram. Roughly one per major room or before each boss.
• Saves are manual — opening a terminal doesn't auto-save; you must confirm.
• You can also change difficulty, spend lunafilament, and read REM data at the same terminal.

Autosaves

The game silently autosaves on these triggers:

• Entering a new chapter.
• Defeating a boss (after the cinematic, NOT during).
• Solving a story-required hacking puzzle.
• Crossing the Memory Vault elevator (the point of no return).

Save slots

Three manual slots + one autosave slot per profile. We strongly recommend keeping a separate "pre-Vault elevator" save in slot 3 — this is the only way to retry the True Ending route without restarting NG+ if you accidentally trigger Diana Shadow without the Cipher.

NG+ carry-over

When you finish the game on any ending, a "Start NG+" option appears at the title screen. NG+ is not a save overwrite — it creates a new file. See NG+ guide for what carries over.

Recovery scenarios

• Bad Ending unlocked — cannot be reverted on the same save. Restart NG+ from a clean True Ending file.
• Missed Final HP Upgrade — also locked once past the elevator autosave. Restart from your slot-3 backup.
• Soft-locked in a hacking puzzle — pause menu → "Reset Puzzle" → no progress lost outside the room.
