Kinda like old games like Rogue or Omega - saving was only when quitting out of the game. You could pick up where you left off with no gap in continuity, but if you died you couldn't reload an old save, because there was no old save. Those old games had one save slot, and as soon as you died (or did something stupid you'd like to undo) saved that progress immediately. It's not so much write-only memory, as it's a backup that's up-to-the-second and there's only one copy ever. Xocyll
