Where Are Baby Steps Save Files Located?
Baby Steps keeps saves under AppData LocalLow in a DefaultCompany folder, inside a per-user subfolder. Steam Cloud mirrors it.
Last updated
Baby Steps is a Unity game, so it follows Unity's Windows convention and writes into LocalLow. The odd part is the company folder name. It is literally called DefaultCompany, which looks like a placeholder the developers never renamed. Once you accept that, the rest is standard.
Inside BabySteps there is a folder named with your user ID, and the save folder lives in there. Back up the whole BabySteps tree rather than fishing out single files. Steam Cloud is on for this title, so most players never need to touch these paths unless a sync fails or they are moving to an offline machine.
Where Baby Steps stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\DefaultCompany\BabySteps
The save folder sits inside a per-user ID subfolder here. DefaultCompany is the literal folder name, not a placeholder. Copy the whole BabySteps folder with the game closed.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/1281040/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for App ID 1281040. The Windows LocalLow path is mirrored inside the prefix drive. Cloud saves also appear under ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/1281040/.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Baby Steps saves on PC?
Open %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\DefaultCompany\BabySteps and look for the folder named with your user ID, then the save folder inside it. Copy the whole BabySteps folder with the game closed. Single files restore badly because the ID folder ties them together.
Does Baby Steps use Steam Cloud?
Yes. App ID 1281040 has Steam Cloud enabled, so the LocalLow folder syncs automatically when you quit. If a second PC shows no progress, check that Cloud is enabled for the game in Steam properties before copying anything by hand.
I cannot find the Baby Steps folder in AppData?
Type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow into Explorer or paste it into the Run box. Windows hides AppData by default, so typing the variable is faster than clicking through Users. The BabySteps folder sits under a company folder literally called DefaultCompany.
