Save As is my favorite GD level because I believe it transcends the game as an art form. Unlike many popular levels today, it has a clear vision: depicting the different stages of dementia through a GD level. This allows PAHC to deconstruct and warp the modern style while also contributing to the level’s purpose. This level was very controversial when it first came out, which may not seem like a big deal given the weekly petty experimental level twitter drama, but at the time, this level genuinely sparked a lot of conversation as to what should be taken seriously in this community. In general, I think the GD community is generally more accepting of level creation as an art form compared to when this was made. I'm still impressed by the sheer emotion of this level 5 years later; even if you didn't hear the message, you can feel the impending dread that this level brings. Another criticism people had was the unreadable gameplay and while that is true, it contributed to the level's purpose and the feeling PAHC tried to convey. If that makes it harder to up the demon count on your profile by 1, then I don't care. I know PAHC released many levels after this where he said he's more proud of them, and while I love his newer stuff, nothing beats the emotions Save As bring out in my opinion

This is the first and only extreme demon I've ever beaten and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Absolutely love the atmosphere the whole way through, the effects are masterfully done and it's easily Grax's best work to date.

It's cool ig
