Nothing. Saves are disabled as soon as you are given the information
necessary to solve the maze, and become possible again when you finish
it. This is not as much of an imposition as it may sound... all will
become clear when the game in question becomes available again.

It's not as much of an inconvenience as you seem to think. e.g. not
being able to save in the marsh in Crobe can't possibly represent much
of an inconvenience, can it?
