If the story’s not a one night affair, it would be fantastic to have a “save” button on it all to continue the next evening or whenever the player could return. also when you return it would be necessary to run a little “your story so far” before you begin again. this could be a short video (covered by the small cameras that are placed in each room & in the car of the player) with running commentary of what you did the last time you played. this would help, not only to remind the player of place, space and time of the story world, but to also re-ignite whatever emotional state they were in..

Thanks for the post, Christy!
