He raised a clawed hand. Not in aggression. But in a wave.
Unlike the original 2004 arcade release (which had no saving at all), the Insect Prison Remake introduces a checkpoint system. However, the developers (Hollow Chitin Studios) kept the spirit of the original alive by limiting manual saves. You can only save at "Molting Stations" scattered throughout the prison complex. If your game crashes during the final boss’s second phase, or if Windows decides to update mid-run, you lose hours of progress.
