Where Are Escape the Backrooms Save Files Located?
Where Escape the Backrooms keeps SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER saves on PC, and the delete ritual.
Last updated
Escape the Backrooms saves at %LOCALAPPDATA%\EscapeTheBackrooms\Saved\SaveGames: SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER files side by side, config in Saved/Config. The no spaces folder name keeps it findable for once.
Deletion has a ritual: sit at the main menu, delete only the target file, and keep Steam Cloud off during the act. Deviating produces corrupted slot lists that need a full Saved wipe. Copy the folder with the game closed and every level survives. The wiki confirms the paths.
Where Escape the Backrooms stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\EscapeTheBackrooms\Saved\SaveGames
SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER files here; Config beside it holds graphics. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\EscapeTheBackrooms into Explorer. Full resets delete the whole Saved folder with the cloud off.
Frequently asked questions
how do i back up escape the backrooms saves
Copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\EscapeTheBackrooms\Saved\SaveGames to the same path with the game closed. SINGLEPLAYER and MULTIPLAYER files travel separately, so grab both. Steam Cloud may mirror them, but the folder copy is certain.
how do i delete a backrooms save properly
Open the game to the main menu first, then delete only the SINGLEPLAYER or MULTIPLAYER file from the SaveGames folder. Deleting from outside the menu or while loaded corrupts the slot list. Disable Steam Cloud during the operation or it restores the file.
can i recover a lost backrooms save
Right click the SaveGames folder and use Restore Previous Versions (needs File History enabled) to roll back. Keep manual dated copies instead; the game overwrites slots aggressively and autosaves offer no mercy.
