Where Are Duck Detective Save Files Located?
Where Duck Detective keeps Unity saves and logs on each desktop OS, per the developer support paths..
Last updated
Duck Detective saves Unity-style in per-OS company folders with logs beside the saves. The developers publish the exact paths for support uploads, which doubles as documentation. Windows uses LocalLow while Mac and Linux use their own homes.
Soft-lock reports want both save and log files together. Copy whole folders with the game closed for migration. Same inner layout everywhere keeps cross-platform debugging simple. Developers appreciate complete folders over fragments. Send zipped copies for large logs.
