Psychological Survival Horror

I'm asking for game design advice here about a new game.

If you don't have a forge account, you could also reply right here.

Well, I was thinking if you justify a "reload" as "it was all a dream" (or nightmare, of course), the logical thing would be to autosave whenever your character gets some sleep.

Right, but how do we handle play, going forward, after a "reload?" Is it necessarily the same? If so, how do we assure that? Is it necessarily different? If so, in what ways?

A computer is good at consistency. An RPG group, not so much.
