Where Is the A Little to the Left Save File?
A Little to the Left keeps one save1.json file in a lowercase maxinferno folder, on Windows and Mac.
Last updated
A Little to the Left stores progress in a single file called save1.json. It sits in a lowercase maxinferno folder under LocalLow on Windows, with a matching Application Support path on Mac.
Single-file saves are wonderfully simple to back up and terribly easy to lose. The whole puzzle book hinges on that one file, so copy it before reinstalling or verifying. DLC puzzles write into the same file, so one copy covers everything.
