The save system acts as a historian of the player’s conscience. However, the Redux version’s implementation of chapter selection mitigates the frustration of missing the "Enlightened" ending. By allowing players to revisit specific sections, the save structure transforms from a linear progression into a moral playground, allowing players to explore the consequences of pacifism versus violence without restarting the entire game.
