Where Are Daymare: 1998 Save Files Located?
Daymare: 1998 saves in a Daymare_MASTER folder with one autosave plus four manual slots for the late game.
Last updated
Daymare: 1998 keeps saves in a Daymare_MASTER folder in Local AppData, following Unreal Engine convention with an unexpected twist: the folder is named for the master build, not the game. Searching for Daymare without the underscore suffix finds nothing.
The slot structure matters for survival horror planning. One autosave runs continuously while four manual slots unlock with the late-game save rooms. Demo progress carries into the full game, so back up before upgrading rather than after.

Frequently asked questions
Do Daymare: 1998 demo saves transfer to the full game?
Yes. The demo writes to the same Daymare_MASTER tree the full game reads, so progress carries over automatically on upgrade.
How many save slots does Daymare: 1998 have?
One autosave plus four manual slots. Manual save rooms only appear in later chapters, so early game relies on the autosave alone.
