The Longest Journey save files on PC, with Stark and Arcadia progress across Roaming and install folders.
Last updated
April Ryan's journey splits across eras of storage. Modern Steam builds save in Roaming AppData under the full title, while the original release used a Funcom folder or the install directory itself.
ScummVM runners get a fourth home under the emulator's own directory. Match the instructions to the build played and both worlds transfer.
Where The Longest Journey stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\The Longest Journey\Save
%APPDATA% is Roaming. The original release used a Funcom TLJ folder or the install directory instead. ScummVM runs store saves under its own Saved Games tree.
