Where Are Gestalt: Steam & Cinder Save Files Located?
The Gestalt save folder on PC, with .dat slot and autosave files under Metamorphosis Games in LocalLow.
Last updated
Gestalt splits progress across three file types in one LocalLow folder: numbered manual saves, autosaves, and a small info file tying them together. The developers documented this themselves when helping players recover runs.
Move all three kinds together when transferring machines. Taking only the manual save leaves the game confused about which slot is current, and autosaves quietly fill the gap wrong.
Where Gestalt: Steam & Cinder stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Metamorphosis Games\Gestalt
Unity LocalLow location under the studio folder. Manual saves are save files with numbers, autosaves pair them, and saveinfo.dat tracks slot state. Move all three types together.
Frequently asked questions
Which Gestalt files do I need for a full backup?
All of them: the numbered saves, the autosaves, and saveinfo.dat. The trio only works as a set, so copy the whole Gestalt folder.
My Gestalt save disappeared after a crash. Anything left?
Check for the autosave twin of your slot in the same folder. Players have resumed from autosaves after the manual file corrupted.
