It's possible to cheat the ''single save file'' system by manually backing up the save file between play sessions. If something goes wrong in Honour mode, one can close the game, restore a previous save file, and launch the game again to continue from the backed up save. | It's possible to cheat the ''single save file'' system by manually backing up the save file between play sessions.

Although using this trick to regularly load old game states would defeat the purpose of Honour mode, a legitimate use-case may be to restore a run that went bad due to something outside the player's control, such as a bug in the game, or an accidental button press due a cat walking on your keyboard. | |||
