Confirmed material and clearly scoped interpretation only.
Confirmed demo behavior
Players discussing the Steam demo describe saving at telephones and needing to insert a coin. That makes the save point part of the game's resource pressure rather than a background checkpoint.
Practical advice for a first demo run
When you find a telephone, consider how far you have explored, what supplies you are carrying, and whether you are about to commit to a risky puzzle or combat sequence. Do not assume every phone is free to use.
What is not confirmed yet
The final release may change save costs, checkpoint placement, difficulty options, or any accessibility settings. We do not publish a fixed save-point map until it can be checked in the released game.
Resource management context
Official descriptions frame Silver Pines around scavenging for resources and puzzle solutions while confronting or avoiding threats. Saving therefore belongs with inventory and route planning, not only progress protection.
