Where Are Death Must Die Save Files Located?
Death Must Die splits Unity data into Saves and Options folders under LocalLow Realm Archive, with Steam Cloud mirroring the tree.
Last updated
Death Must Die follows Unity convention with a tidy split. One company folder in LocalLow holds two children: Saves for runs and Options for settings. No ID subfolders complicate the picture.
Filenames inside those folders are the one unverified detail, so folder-level copies are the safe unit. Steam Cloud is enabled and mirrors the tree, which covers most players. Manual archivists should grab the company folder whole and skip the urge to inventory individual files.
Where Death Must Die stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Realm Archive\Death Must Die\Saves
Run progress in the Saves child of the company folder. Exact inner filenames are undocumented, so copy the folder rather than single files. Cloud mirrors this tree.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Realm Archive\Death Must Die\Options
Display and input settings in the Options sibling. Keep with Saves on migration. Both folders branch from the same Realm Archive root.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/2334730/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for App ID 2334730. The LocalLow tree is mirrored inside the prefix drive, with the Cloud copy also under ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/2334730/.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Death Must Die saves?
Copy the whole %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Realm Archive\Death Must Die folder with the game closed. That carries the Saves tree with progress and the Options tree with settings together. Steam Cloud mirrors the same content for App ID 2334730.
Where are Death Must Die settings?
Open the Options folder beside Saves in the same company tree. Display and input choices live there rather than with progress. The exact filenames inside both folders are undocumented, so copy folders rather than cherry-picking files.
Does Death Must Die sync through Steam Cloud?
Check Steam userdata for App ID 2334730 as the Cloud mirror. The LocalLow tree stays primary on Windows, with userdata as the synced copy. Either restores the same runs when moved carefully.
