Well it get's frustrating if you freeze save. The game is all about
dying and trying again because of various events that are triggered once
you visit some places more often. Also the warehouse system is important
to win the game. It's nearly impossible to win the game on your first
run and if you do it with savestates it just seems hilariously hard
which it certainly isn't.

Some issues of the @Play column on gamesetwatch.com cover a whole
walkthrough through the game.
