Wondering how to save your progress in South of Midnight? The mechanics for saving your game aren’t explained very well at the start of your journey through the Bayou, yet it’s an essential feature to understand. The game utilizes an auto-save system that isn’t prominently advertised, which has caused confusion among players. Here’s a clear breakdown of how saving works in South of Midnight.

To ensure your progress is saved in South of Midnight, just advance to moments where the auto-save feature activates. This happens frequently and is marked by a spinning icon in the lower left corner of your screen. In our experience, it typically activates every few minutes. Expect the auto-save to kick in before and after battles, when collecting Floofs, during interactions, cutscenes, and when significant events occur. If you need to reload your game, you generally won’t lose more than a few minutes of playtime.
However, it’s important to note that there is no option for manual saving in South of Midnight, which means players rely solely on the auto-save functionality. On the bright side, while you cannot return to specific save points, you can replay completed chapters, giving you a chance to hunt for collectibles and experience gameplay sections again.
