Where Are Man of Medan Save Files Located?
Man of Medan save folder on PC, how continuous autosaves affect branching choices, and the Game Pass container path.
Last updated
Man of Medan saves to a ManOfMedan folder in Local AppData, no spaces in the name. Each Dark Pictures game gets its own folder like this, so progress never mixes between entries in the anthology.
The game writes continuously as you play, which matters for a branching horror story. There is no manual save point to return to before a fatal choice. Players who want to explore both outcomes back up the SaveGames folder before key scenes, then restore it to try the other branch.
Where The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\ManOfMedan\Saved\SaveGames
Game Pass builds use an encrypted container under Local/Packages instead, which cannot be hand edited. Steam copies are plain .sav files and easy to back up.

Proton prefix for Steam Deck and Linux desktops, app ID 939850. Same ManOfMedan folder name inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replay a Man of Medan scene without restarting?
Only through backed-up saves. The game overwrites continuously, so copy SaveGames elsewhere before a scene you may want to redo, then restore the copy to try again.
Do Man of Medan saves carry into other Dark Pictures games?
Only as a greeting. Later entries detect an earlier save and the Curator comments on it, but choices do not transfer. Each game keeps its own folder.
