Where Are The Artful Escape Save Files Located?
The Artful Escape save folder on Windows and Linux, the ArtfulEscape SaveGames tree Steam uses for transfers.
Last updated
The Artful Escape is an Unreal Engine 4 game, so the Windows save path follows the LocalAppData pattern. PCGamingWiki lists %LOCALAPPDATA%/ArtfulEscape/Saved/SaveGames/Steam for the standard build. Paste that into Explorer to open it.
The trip is short and the folder is small, which makes manual backup easy. Copy the SaveGames tree with the game closed. Config sits one level up in Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor if your tweaks need to travel too. Steam Cloud covers most moves on its own. Label dated copies when testing beta branches.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move my Artful Escape save to a new PC?
Copy the SaveGames folder out with the game closed, then place it into the same LocalAppData path on the new machine. Launch once first so the ArtfulEscape tree exists. Steam Cloud usually handles this on its own.
Can I move a Game Pass save to Steam?
The Microsoft Store build uses an Xbox wgs container under Packages instead of readable save files. Those containers do not copy cleanly to Steam. Stay within one store for transfers.
