Saves

Autosave appearing on screen.

There are two methods of saving in Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands:

• Interacting with NPC Saeva you can save manually.
• The game also autosaves regularly upon entering a new screen.

You can have up to 3 separate save profiles.

Save Slots

Saving slots with different progresses.

After starting the game by pressing Play in the Main Menu, you can choose from three audio cassettes which represent three different save slots. Since patch v1.0.6, each save slot contains the last autosave and last manual save separately, and they can be toggled with up and down arrows.

Pressing Play on a blank slot starts the game from the beginning.

The cassettes show the following informations:

• Characters in play
• Chapter title
• Save location
• Band level
• Time played

Note: the selected tape plays the soundtrack of the saving location. If the slot is blank, it plays static noise.

2. Copy the save file you want to restore.
3. Paste the save file into the main save folder.
