There is no saving in Returnal: if you're in the middle of a great run, but have to leave or do something else, you can't save your progress.The memento-like items described above that are found after completing the house sequences in Returnal are one-time use only.Other items increase weapon damage when integrity is low or full. For example, completing the first house sequence unlocks the Astronaut Figurine and if you die with this in your inventory, you’ll immediately be brought to life in the exact area you died. What the game doesn’t tell you is that these items are actually super helpful. Going through house sequences in the game unlock special memento-like items.
