## Summary

Saves all variables in the Dialogue Runner's variable storage into the `PlayerPrefs` object.

This method serializes all variables in [VariableStorage](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.2/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner.variablestorage) into a string containing JSON, and then stores that string in the `PlayerPrefs` object under the key `SaveKey`.

The stored information can be restored via the [LoadStateFromPlayerPrefs(string)](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/2.2/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner.loadstatefromplayerprefs) method.
