Where Are Crying Suns Save Files Located?
Crying Suns saves to an Alt Shift LocalLow folder with a saves subfolder, plus Mac and registry variants.
Last updated
Crying Suns is a Unity roguelike from a studio called Alt Shift, and the save path says so plainly. Campaign progress sits in a saves subfolder under LocalLow, with settings in a registry key of the same name.
Mac players get a native build with its own Application Support path under a bundle-style name. The layouts mirror each other, so profile folders transfer between operating systems directly. Copy the saves folder for backup; Steam Cloud mirrors it anyway.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move my campaign to another PC?
The Steam Cloud copy mirrors the saves folder. Copy the local files with Steam closed, then launch once so the cloud picks them up.
