Where Are House of Ashes Save Files Located?
House of Ashes save folder on PC, how the mode prefixes work, and the cross-game bonus for earlier anthology saves.
Last updated
House of Ashes saves to a HouseOfAshes folder in Local AppData, one word, no spaces. Like Little Hope it tags each file with a mode prefix, so solo and Shared Story runs keep separate files instead of fighting over one slot.
Keep your Man of Medan and Little Hope folders around too. When House of Ashes finds an earlier anthology save, the Curator greets you with unique dialogue at the start. Deleting old entries to save space costs you that small moment.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep my Man of Medan and Little Hope saves?
Yes if you like the Curator. House of Ashes detects earlier anthology saves and opens with unique dialogue. It changes nothing mechanical, but it is a nice touch worth a few megabytes.
How do I retry a House of Ashes scene?
Copy SaveGames elsewhere before the scene, play through, then restore the copy to try different choices. The game overwrites continuously, so there is no in-game rewind.
