can it be solved like

iventory items 1 2 4 7 8 11 are with him
globalints ..... 34  7 8 are of the value 1 the rest are 0
and so on...
all data are encrypted (avoid cheating for thinking ! )....

Because it saves all the states of all the visited (not exactly, if you use rooms with number >300) rooms, including local variables, object status and locations, etc.

As far as I know the data are probably not encrypted.
