Where Are Hero's Hour Save Files Located?
Hero's Hour saves in a Hero_s_Hour folder in LocalAppData, with the GameMaker underscore naming, plus Proton and cloud copies.
Last updated
Hero's Hour is a GameMaker title, and the folder name shows it. Apostrophes are illegal in some contexts, so GameMaker swaps it for underscores: Hero_s_Hour in LocalAppData. Searching for Hero's Hour with the apostrophe finds nothing.
Everything lives in that one folder, saves and settings together. Back it up whole before major updates or mod experiments. The store variants share the layout, with each store cloud mirroring the same tree.
