Where Are CloverPit Save Files Located?
CloverPit keeps its run data in SaveData GameData as encrypted JSON, either under the Steam install folder or LocalLow depending on build.
Last updated
CloverPit stores runs as JSON, which sounds friendly until you learn the files are XOR-encrypted. GameDataFull.json is the full-game progress and SettingsDataFull.json is config, both under a SaveData folder. The demo uses a parallel Demo filename.
The awkward part is the root. Steam installs report the SaveData tree inside the game install folder, while other reports point at LocalLow under a Panik company name that itself varies between sources. Check the install folder first, LocalLow second. Game Pass builds use wgs containers and share nothing with Steam.
Where CloverPit stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\CloverPit\SaveData\GameData
Best-verified Steam root: GameDataFull.json with backups beside it plus SettingsData in its sibling folder. Browse local files from Steam to reach it. The JSON is encrypted, so copy rather than edit.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Panik\CloverPit\SaveData\GameData
Alternative root reported for some installs, with the company folder seen as both Panik and Panik Arcade across sources. Check here if the install-folder tree has no SaveData. Same GameData filenames inside.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\FutureFriendsGames.CloverPit_\SystemAppData\wgs
Game Pass save container under the Future Friends package. Opaque files with no readable names. No cross-save with Steam per the developer, so each store keeps its own runs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up CloverPit progress?
Find your SaveData root first: either <SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\CloverPit\SaveData or the LocalLow Panik variant below. Copy GameDataFull.json plus its backups with the game closed. Xbox Game Pass uses an opaque wgs container instead, and the two do not convert.
Does CloverPit sync between Steam and Game Pass?
Yes for the store you bought it on. Steam Cloud and Xbox Cloud each cover their own build. The developer confirms no cross-save between Steam and Xbox, so each platform keeps a separate run history.
Can I edit CloverPit save files by hand?
Use a save editor that decrypts it. GameDataFull.json is XOR-encrypted with a shuffle layer, so hand edits corrupt the file. The demo uses GameDataDemo.json with the same protection. Restore backups by renaming to GameDataFull.json.
