save file
Preserved game state
A save file is stored data that records a player's progress in a video game, allowing them to resume from that point later.
Save files preserve character levels, inventory, story progression, and other game state information.
They can be created automatically (autosave) or manually at designated points.
I lost my save file and had to start over from the beginning.
