Gameplay
addedEvery new game changes certain parameters that requires a slightly different escape strategy. The overall story is generally the same, but how you survive it varies, especially if aiming for a good rank or specific achievements. Pryzm offers players some help if they find it too difficult. This is where Continue+ comes in.
changedFor those wondering how saving works, this game will always auto-save at the start of every area or scene so players do not have to complete a run in one sitting. Simply quit the game and pick up where you left off.Continue+ mode only appears just after you complete an entire game or get a game over, replacing the regular Continue auto-save file. Selecting it puts you back into the game at the start of the second act while retaining every parameter from the previous game. So if you discovered a path that gave you a bonus item or a quicker way to avoid enemies previously, those paths are still the same in Continue+! This will allow you to better plan how to make it to the ending and possibly achieve a better rank. Hindsight is indeed 20/20. And you get an increase in starting clarity too, effectively making every Continue+ easier and easier.
addedFor those wondering how saving works, this game will always auto-save at the start of every area or scene so players do not have to complete a run in one sitting. Simply quit the game and pick up where you left off.Do note that any form of continuing disqualifies the run from the online leaderboard, but qualifies for all achievements not requiring a 1CC. Also, starting a New Game will make this option disappear. Why would you do this instead of using Continue+? Because many of the parameters of the game are actually set by your choices in the first act, so you may want to start a new game to re-arrange the parameters based on your goals.
