You're right, Gil. I couldn't spot any mention of that on the site. A review at dadsgamingaddiction site says:
The controls are not rebindable, but are fairly simple for the game’s purposes. The WASD keys move the player around, left shift runs, left control crouches, the “F” and “L” keys activate your flashlight and lantern, respectively, “I” opens your inventory, “J” opens your journal, and “Space Bar” jumps.
Additionally: "At present, the game automatically saves your progress [only] when you complete an important objective or unlock the next area."
So manual saving doesn't seem to be possible.

I am moving part of this to Hints since it's more related to how to play the game than the actual game itself.

Mad, the auto saves are not that far apart, at least in Chapter one. And generally speaking, the controls are easy: move forward with the W key and use the mouse to pan or turn left and right. The hand icon is also easy to use when checking or taking objects as long as you are at the right place to click on it. Chief

I'm wondering why some games use the keyboard for movement. Don't they know most adventure gamers prefer using the mouse? To me, it's more hassle to use the keyboard. IMHO

I wonder if it is simply easier (i.e., cheaper) to write code for keyboard control than point-and-click.

THere is an update to the game available I am just not sure how you get it yet. This is the first of the two major planned updates. In this one all known gameplay bugs and issues have been fixed and more hints have been added to ensure a smooth gameplay for all players. See changelog for the full list.
The second planned update will add new horror elements to the game. We are currently working on adding an new threat to the player that will enhance the gameplay experience. Moreover, there will be optimization of the DX11 features and a bindable keys option will be added. We estimate this second update to be released next week so we suggest anyone who wants to enjoy the new features of the game to wait until then.
Also a Mac release is in our future plans.

Thanks Greyfuss, I have that link in the first post, it just does not say how to get the update if you already purchased. I sent them an email.

Sometimes I can be such a dolt. I thought this was a new thread since it opened at the top of the page but alas my doltness didn't see that it was page 2. I see what you mean, on Desura they make the announcement of the updated version 1.1 but don't say how to get it. http://www.desura.com/games/eleusis/news/version-11-is-now-available

That's correct Greyfuss. They sent me the announcement but no directions. Here is the answer The update is automatically done on Desura. Currently the game is only available on Desura so the people that purchased it have already the updated version.

They have decided to go a bit to much to the action side for my taste and thus will not update the walkthrough. But I'm sure that many action players will like the latest version of this game. Have fun with the game and good luck to the developer. Chief

Imari, no fighting, but eluding and running away. You can also throw things. You have to elude and/or run away from a monk and a wolf. The story line did not change from the first version. I'm sure that some expert in action games will find it easy to play. Chief
