Where Are Animal Well Saves Located?
Animal Well save file location on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Last updated
Animal Well keeps saves in the usual Unity player-data folders per OS, with Steam Cloud syncing them between machines. Each save slot maps to files inside the game folder.
Back up the whole folder before save editing or egg hunting marathons. Restoring mid-puzzle progress beats replaying entire regions.

Frequently asked questions
Does Animal Well use Steam Cloud?
Yes, Steam syncs the save folder above across machines. Disable it before restoring manual backups or the cloud copy wins.
How do I back up Animal Well saves?
Copy the entire folder above elsewhere. Every slot travels together, so partial copies risk mismatched progress.
