Windows Steam save path

Paste the path into File Explorer’s address bar. Windows may hide AppData in ordinary folder views; entering the full path is usually the quickest way to reach it. Replace {64BitSteamID} with the actual folder name shown on your machine.

Files you may see

  • The main save uses a .sav extension.
  • A .bac file and additional .sav files in a Backup subfolder are reported in the researched layout.
  • Steam Cloud is configured with a quota of 190.73 MiB and up to 1,000 files in the captured configuration; cloud sync status can affect which copy is current.

Before moving or restoring saves

  1. Close Emberward

    Avoid changing files while the game may still be writing progress.

  2. Copy the whole folder first

    Keep an untouched backup before moving, renaming, or restoring any save files.

  3. Check Steam Cloud

    A cloud copy may synchronize over a local change. Make sure you understand which version you want before restarting the game.

  4. Use the in-game recovery option when possible

    The 1.0 notes mention recovering progress from Steam achievements. Prefer the game’s own recovery flow if it applies to your situation.
