Foolish Mortals is everything that is good about this type of point-and-click adventure. Whilst we will get more into the weeds as we work through this review, as a general proposition there is arguably nothing that needed tweaking, let alone reworking. The game casts you in the role of Murphy McCallan, an auditor cum treasure hunter in 1933, newly arrived at a small island off the coast of Louisiana. Devil's Rock it’s called, and the fact that the taxi drops you off short of the town of Deadnettle and won't go any closer is probably not a good sign.

I can’t say definitively but suspect you can oldbroad. I switched some things on and off (save game summary for instance) as I went along and the game responded accordingly.

Not that I noticed Uncle Reg but I wasnt relying on that feature, and didn't pay much attention to it sorry. Its a single save point, so much preferred to periodically make my own.

There is a single autosave point, and multiple manual save points.

The fact that you can save at will in seemingly unlimited slots largely renders the autosave feature redundant, and probably of little interest to most players. However if you eg have a crash, power outage or similar and haven’t saved, the autosave function may be your friend. So I will try and make sure to mention its existence in the future.

Here's what I got from the developer on the Steam forum for the game: There isn't a notification, but we've placed them throughout the game when you accomplish key tasks. If you press S at any time, that'll quick-save the current game to the autosave slot too  I just tried the S key and it works. The Continue button now works as you would expect; there is, however, no notification that a save has occurred when using the S key.
