- Game does not exit when an internet connection is lost, but the player cannot progress past certain points in the story without an internet connection, and the game will throw an error message asking to go online when such points are reached. If "retry" is pressed, gameplay continues, but the player won't be able to progress further in the story, and the room that progresses the story will be inaccessible until an internet connection is re-established.
