Where Are A Highland Song Save Files Located?
A Highland Song saves to an Inkle LocalLow folder, with settings in the registry.
Last updated
A Highland Song is a Unity game and saves like one. Progress sits in a LocalLow folder under the Inkle Ltd name, while graphics and options live in a registry key with the same naming.
The game is DRM-free when launched from its own executable, so nothing phones home about your saves. That also means no safety net beyond Steam Cloud. Copy the LocalLow folder before modding or reinstalling, since a fresh install starts the mountain over.
Where A Highland Song stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Inkle Ltd\A Highland Song
Hike progress and collectibles. Hidden by default; paste into Explorer. Copy with the game closed for a clean backup.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inkle Ltd\A Highland Song
Options and graphics settings, not progress. Export before registry edits; deleting it resets settings without touching the hike.

Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 1240060). Both the LocalLow folder and the registry key live inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move my progress to another PC?
The LocalLow folder holds your hike progress and the registry holds options. Copy the folder with the game closed; redo graphics by hand on the new machine.
