Basic Trope: A game will save automatically.

  • Straight: In Wonderful Quest, the game automatically saves every ten minutes, or per Game Over screen if the player ends their session.
  • Exaggerated: Wonderful Quest saves every time an input is made.
  • Downplayed: Wonderful Quest saves every time you beat a major boss.
  • Justified: There's an in-universe save system that records your adventures, and this one is advanced enough to perform this trope.
  • Inverted:
    • Wonderful Quest will erase one of your save files every ten minutes.
    • Wonderful Quest will load one of your save files every ten minutes.
  • Subverted: The only autosave happens after you beat the tutorial, and is simply there to teach you how to save the game and use save slots.
  • Double Subverted: Once you beat the final boss, the Extended Gameplay lets you enable autosaving every ten minutes.
  • Parodied: In Wonderful Quest, the game autosaves right before an enemy deals the finishing hit. You can reload the save and watch your character die again.
  • Zig-Zagged: Wonderful Quest will only autosave in certain areas, and if the player is at low health.
  • Averted: Wonderful Quest only saves from the player's input at a Save Point.
  • Enforced: The developers don't want their game to be Unintentionally Unwinnable, and provide frequent saves for the player.
  • Lampshaded: A "Saving game..." text appears when the autosave activates, before followed by a Game Over screen.
  • Invoked: The hero of Wonderful Quest has a time-manipulating device that they use to make savestates in time.
  • Exploited: Players of Wonderful Quest begin to use Save Scumming through the autosave.
  • Defied: The developers refuse to add an autosave feature.
  • Conversed: "It's really helpful that this game will save on its own."
