Where Are Hollowbody Save Files Located?
Hollowbody saves under AppData LocalLow in Headware Games/Hollowbody. Settings live in the registry beside it.
Last updated
Hollowbody is a Unity survival horror game, so saves live under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Headware Games\Hollowbody. Configuration sits in the registry under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Headware Games\Hollowbody rather than a config file. GOG and Steam builds share the layout.
Saves follow the genre: fixed save points, one profile, no slot juggling. Back up the folder after using a save point. Linux runs through Proton via compatdata for app 2123640, where the same LocalLow path appears inside the prefix. Keep a copy before difficulty or puzzle experiments; horror checkpoints punish curiosity.
Where Hollowbody stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Headware Games\Hollowbody
Profile progress in one folder. Registry key beside it holds options. GOG and Steam share the layout. Copy after saving at a save point, not mid-run.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2123640/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Headware Games/Hollowbody
Same folder through the Proton prefix (appid 2123640). Registry hive travels inside the prefix. Useful for Deck backups of a checkpoint-heavy game.
Frequently asked questions
how do i back up hollowbody completely
Copy the whole Headware Games\Hollowbody folder plus the HKCU\SOFTWARE\Headware Games\Hollowbody registry key. Saves without the key lose options; the key without saves keeps options with no progress.
does hollowbody autosave
The classic survival-horror structure: fixed save points write one profile, not rolling autosaves. Progress between points is run state in memory. Copy the folder after saving at a point, never mid-corridor.
