Given that decisions and actions are key to how the story plays out, keeping everything saved is a necessity. While Man of Medan can technically be played in a single sitting if you’re patient, most players will likely need to save at least once. To help, we’ve put together a brief guide explaining how to save in Man of Medan!

Similar to other modern games on the market right now, Man of Medan utilizes an auto-save feature that regularly keeps track of your progress. Rather than have to go through menus and select a save option, the game will save things for you. Whenever you see a save icon pop up at the bottom-right corner of your screen, you’ll know the game is auto-saving your progress.
As noted by the game, it’s recommended that you don’t close out of the game while it’s auto-saving as this could result in you losing your current save position. Based on our experience with the game, there are no manual save options. If you’re like us and want to know in explicit detail that your game has been saved before you exit, the best option is to trigger an auto-save.
This can be done whenever you complete a story chapter, enter a new area, complete a cutscene, and so on. Again, whenever you see the save icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen, you’ll know the game has your progress stored up until that exact point, making it safe to close out and return to at a later date.
Depending on how tech savvy you are, you can create a manual backup save file at the start of each chapter on consoles like PlayStation 4 by opening your Settings, selecting Application Saved Data Management, then USB or PS+ Cloud as storage. In doing so, you can copy back your save if you need to restart a chapter without having to restart the game from scratch. The choice is up to you, though.
For most players, the auto-save feature should be sufficient enough to keep track of your progress as you work through Man of Medan. While it’d be nice to have in-game manual saves, the auto-safe feature works well enough given the game’s shorter duration.
Now that you know how to save in Man of Medan, be sure to read through some of our previous guides including how long it’ll take you to beat Man of Medan and how many chapters there are, and whether there’s co-op multiplayer available in Man of Medan.
