From Vision Soft Reset page notes
What was said about Vision Soft Reset
Vision Soft Reset turns checkpoints into bookmarks that rewind time. Instead of fast travel, a checkpoint rewinds the player to an earlier moment in the 20-minute countdown. Abilities and passwords carry over, but heart containers do not.
Players try to maximise the time left when they save a bookmark, and replay a section with what they've learned to do it better. A round trip to power a machine left 12 minutes, so the player redid it and came back with 16 minutes left, which felt good. The source puts it as "checkpoints act like bookmarks on a timeline".
Clockwork Games and Time Loops
Checkpoints work as bookmarks on a timeline that rewind time, keeping abilities and passwords but not heart containers. A round trip to power a machine left 12 minutes, and a faster second run left 16.
