The game will autosave when going for the Dead Dream achievement ending in Chapter 0. However, the major issue is the game will also delete all your other saves locking you to that autosave at the ending credits scene. For now, I provided a quick fix below until whenever the developer updates the game.

If you don't want to use this fix, the alternative is backing up all your saves before attempting this ending. The saves are in the www\save directory of where you installed Dead Dreams.
Default directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Dreams FULL\www\save

1. Go to the www\data directory of where you installed Dead Dreams.
Default directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dead Dreams FULL\www\data
2. Backup Map122.json before you make any changes if you want.
3. Open Map122.json on Notepad or another similar software.
4, Search the following code in the json file:
{"code":355,"indent":0,"parameters":["StorageManager.removeAllStorage = function() {"]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":[" for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {"]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":[" this.remove(i);"]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":[" }"]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":["};"]},{"code":355,"indent":0,"parameters":[""]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":[""]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":[""]},{"code":655,"indent":0,"parameters":["StorageManager.removeAllStorage();"]},{"code":230,"indent":0,"parameters":[60]},{"code":355,"indent":0,"parameters":[""]},
5. Replace the code with this code:
{"code":230,"indent":0,"parameters":[60]},
6. Save the json file.

Now, this ending won't delete all the saves. Basically, I just removed the code that's deleting all the saves. Since the code in Step 4 is only in this ending and not in any of the other endings, there's only two possible reasons for this.
  1. The developer was doing some testing with this ending and forgot to remove this code.
  2. It was intentional. Dead dream. You rejected all the gems. They're all gone and took all your saves with them. 😅
