As players of Oni are well aware, the game does not allow arbitrary saving ("save anywhere"), but relies on the use of fixed savepoints activated through level scripting by reaching certain places in each level. This means that by setting a maximum number of levels and savepoints for Oni, the developer could store the total state of the player's progress in a single, fixed-size file -- a 206,496 byte file, to be exact. In addition to savepoint data, persist.dat has a header which stores Oni's player settings (besides [[Oni (folder)/key_config.txt|key bindings]]). It also records whether the cheats are enabled (i.e. whether you have beaten the game), and whether you killed Griffin in {{C|13}}. | As players of Oni are well aware, the game does not allow arbitrary saving ("save anywhere"), but relies on the use of fixed savepoints activated through level scripting by reaching certain places in each level.
