Where Are Darkside Detective Save Files Located?
Darkside Detective saves in a Unity LocalLow folder, with settings in the registry on Windows and XDG prefs plus clouds elsewhere.
Last updated
Darkside Detective is Unity, so saves land in LocalLow under the developer folder. One Spooky Doorway folder holds the case files for the season. Settings split off into the Windows registry under the same developer name.
Linux follows XDG with a unity3d vendor path instead. Every store cloud mirrors the same trees, including Xbox Cloud for the Store build. Copy the LocalLow folder for moves and leave the registry unless migrating preferences too.
