The 7th Guest: Savegames
The 7th Guest savegame research directory: planned references for game state, snapshots, validation and save-file interpretation.
Savegame research examines how persistent state relates to the state of a running game. This section organizes planned references for snapshots, progression, validation and the fields needed to understand a saved session. It is separate from walkthrough material: the focus is representation and behavior.
Use copies of save files when testing an interpretation, and record the exact game release involved. A useful article should show which changes were observed and how those observations were checked. The pages below remain planned until such documentation is written; this directory is not a claim that arbitrary saves can already be safely edited.
This catalogue currently has 10 entries. 0 are published; the remaining entries are planned documentation, not completed guides.
