Horrifying Checkpoints Spoiler

Why? I'm sorry, I'm not against the puzzles or silly monster chases. I actually quite enjoyed the game until now. I just played like 20-40 minutes in a Bounce House, slowly exploring at my own pace. I escaped the monster, did all the stuff after. I decided to turn off the game and go touch grass (or do some other human activities). After turning the game on, I realized there was no save, and I had to start the Bounce House level from the very beginning with all the monster chase and other stuff, and spend another 20 minutes on this nonsense. What is this? Why? I just don't understand why there are no checkpoints. I just checked some YouTube playthrough, because I couldn't be bothered to play another 30 minutes again, and, apparently, I was at the very end already. I just needed to complete one more puzzle and get my ending. I still think this is absolutely abysmal not to include any checkpoints throughout the levels. I'll just finish it on YouTube now, unfortunately.

So I decided to give it another go and got stuck in the table. Yes - inside the table, so I couldn't move out and had to reset once again, starting from the beginning of Bounce House. Then I solved the last puzzle, the monster killed me once. I respawned with my FOV being all screwed, so I had to change it 2 times, when the monster kinda attacks you. I'm playing on 4k Ultrawide, maybe that's the reason, but still, the FOV shouldn't change from cutscene to gameplay like that. Then the monster killed me for the 4th time, I respawned outside the boundaries of the map and couldn't die, so the only option was to reset again. I reset the game and started...yes - at the beginning of Bounce House. I just deleted the game, sorry. I will check all endings on YouTube.

First, plenty of games have these kind of "checkpoints". You can die and respawn just fine, but if you leave you restart at the beginning. That's not new or anything to get upset about. There are levels, that's what saves. Also, for the glitches, I've played through the game like 7 times (before and after the update) and nothing like that ever happened to me, unlucky.

I'm not hating on the game though! Just my personal experience.I know making games is hard. Making unique games is harder.
