Where Are Karma: The Dark World Save Files Located?
Karma: The Dark World saves per store version, with Steam, PC, and GOG each getting their own folder.
Last updated
Karma: The Dark World names its save folder after the store build. Steam copies use Karma_Steam, GOG copies use Karma_GOG, and standalone builds use Karma_PC, all under LocalAppData.
That naming is genuinely useful. It means parallel installs never fight over one save tree, but it also means migrating from Steam to GOG is a manual folder copy, not an automatic pickup. Check which folder has recent timestamps before assuming your progress is gone.
Where Karma: The Dark World stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Karma_Steam\Saved\SaveGames
Story progress for the Steam build. Copy with the game closed. GOG and standalone builds use sibling folders with the same layout.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Karma_PC\Saved\SaveGames
Non-Steam and GOG builds keep identical layouts here. Migrating stores means copying between these folders by hand.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1376200/pfx/
Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 1376200). The Karma_* folders appear inside the prefix's virtual LocalAppData.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I have Karma_Steam and Karma_PC folders?
The folder name records the store build, so each copy keeps separate progress. Pick the folder matching where you bought it; the others belong to other installs.
