## Summary

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

```csharp

```

## Remarks

This method serializes all variables in [VariableStorage](/2.3/api/csharp/yarn.unity/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner/yarn.unity.dialoguerunner.variablestorage.md) into a string containing JSON, and then stores that string in the `UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs` object under the key `SaveKey`.
