Where Are MADiSON Save Files Located?
Where the MADiSON psychological horror game keeps all its .dat save slots under BLOODIOUS GAMES LLC.
Last updated
MADiSON saves as .dat files at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\BLOODIOUS GAMES LLC\MADiSON\Data. The all caps studio folder hides it from anyone searching for the game title.
In game deletion famously fails, which pushes players to the filesystem: quit fully, delete the slot .dat by hand, relaunch. Copy the Data folder with the game closed and the whole haunted campaign moves. Linux runs the identical tail through Proton. Photos share the Data folder. Rituals checkpoint often.
Where MADiSON stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\BLOODIOUS GAMES LLC\MADiSON\Data
.dat slot files here; search for the studio name in all caps. The folder is small, so dated copies cost nothing. Config sits beside saves for graphics tweaks.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1670870/pfx/.../BLOODIOUS GAMES LLC/MADiSON/Data
Same studio nested tail inside the Proton prefix for app 1670870. Copy the Windows Data contents straight across. Confirm the prefix ran the game at least once before browsing.
Frequently asked questions
why is there no madison folder in appdata
Search AppData for BLOODIOUS GAMES, the studio name Unity uses for the folder. The store title appears nowhere in that segment. Full path: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\BLOODIOUS GAMES LLC\MADiSON\Data. Paste it into Explorer directly.
how do i back up madison saves
Copy the Data folder to the same path with the game closed. The .dat files hold slots and camera progress together. Steam Cloud may mirror them, but the folder copy is certain and keeps possession flags intact.
why cant i delete my madison save
A known quirk fights in game deletion, so remove the .dat files by hand with the game closed instead. Delete only the slot files, never the folder itself. Relaunching regenerates a clean slate when everything goes.
