Where Are Darkwood Save Files Located?
Darkwood saves per profile in numbered prof folders under Acid Wizard Studio, with editable sav files.
Last updated
Darkwood files each playthrough into numbered profile folders, prof1 through prof5, inside an Acid Wizard Studio directory in LocalLow. Each profile holds a sav file carrying that run, which keeps multiple survivors completely separate.
The sav files are plain enough to edit with a text editor, and the community has documented item and stat tweaks extensively. Edit with the game closed and keep an unedited copy, since a malformed file fails silently and the game starts over.

Frequently asked questions
Which Darkwood folder is my current run?
The prof folder matching your in-game profile slot: prof1 for the first slot through prof5. Each contains a sav file with that run.
Can I edit Darkwood saves?
Yes, the sav files open in a text editor for item and stat tweaks. Back up first and edit with the game closed to avoid silent corruption.
