Saving

 Saving Features 

Despite the "Rogue-like" style, Fear & Hunger does offer the player several opportunities to save the game. These opportunities present themselves at specific game locations and through the use of items.

Save Locations:

There are only four known save locations in the game : Lv1 Entrance, Lv 3 Basement, Buckman's Cell , and the Tower of Endless

 Level 1 Entrance: 

The first save point is close to the beginning. You have to possess explosives to reach here. Blow up the collapsed hallway at the top right corner of the map using the explosives. With this, it opens up to a room with a bed for resting and saving. You need to do a Coin-Flip, if won you can rest and save the game. If failed, you will face a guard. If you face the guard and beat him, you cannot immediately use the bed afterwards due to the effect of adrenaline in your blood, as you are too excited to sleep after a fight. You will need to walk around for a while to calm down before being able to use the bed again.

 Level 3 Basement: 

The second save point is also near the beginning of the game, although a bit further away. It is reachable by taking the left entrance at the very start of the game and following the path through to the Lv 3 Basement map. In the top left corner of the map (avoiding the Iron Shakespeare) there is a room with a bed and bonfire (unlit) and statue of a woman's torso with a crow. Here the player can rest and save, but upon saving the game requests a Coin-Flip. If won, the player will rest and is presented with the opportunity to save the game. However if the Coin-Flip is failed, the player is ambushed by the Crow Mauler, likely ending the player's run. If however the player is able to defeat the Crow Mauler, the bed becomes available for indefinite use.

 Buckman's Cell: 

After defeating the Torturer, the bed in Buckman's cell can be used as many times as the player wishes without a coin toss or fear of attack. If the player saves while Buckman is still present in the cell he will make mention of the fact, saying he doesn't understand how the player can sleep so soundly. Note that if the player decides to use the bed before killing the torturer, he will appear and torture the player, via dismemberment, ultimately resulting in a game over.

 The Tower of Endless 

The third location is near the end of the game, atop of the Tower of Endless in Ma'habre city. The save point is another bed room existing in both the past and present versions of the city. Using the bed in the past version of the city will also transport the player in the Dream Rondon.

Saving with Items:

For players that are lucky enough to find the Book of Enlightenment, there is the option to save at will simply by reading the book (marked in yellow in the book sub-menu). However it must be noted that the Book is One-Use-ONLY, and will be consumed after reading.

A Book of Enlightenment is guaranteed to be found in The Hall of the Gods if the player is selected normal mode (Fear & Hunger) at the game start.

Aside from the one location and looting one by chance, the only other way to acquire a Book of Enlightenment is through using an Empty Scroll. The Empty Scroll is an uncommon item found by chance though out the game. If the player also possess the Ink and Quill, it is possible to write on the empty scroll and obtain any item or spell in the game by writing the correct words.

In order to obtain a Book of Enlightenment through the use of the Empty Scroll, and Ink and Quill, the player must write the following:
 * O LORD
 * GIVE
 * ENLIGHTENMENT
