Where Are MENACE Save Files Located?
MENACE save folder on Windows and Linux, and why Ironman runs deserve a manual backup routine.
Last updated
MENACE saves into an Overhype Studios folder in LocalLow, with a Saves subfolder holding the campaigns. The layout is pure Unity convention, which keeps things predictable for anyone who has backed up a Unity strategy game before.
Ironman-style runs raise the stakes. A single campaign file carries the whole strike force, so corruption or a bad cloud sync ends the run with no recourse. Copy the Saves folder out after every few missions and a dead campaign becomes an inconvenience instead of a tragedy.
Where MENACE stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Overhype Studios\Menace\Saves
Campaign files live here directly. Steam Cloud syncs the folder, but Ironman players should still keep dated manual copies.
~/.config/unity3d/Overhype Studios/Menace/Saves
Native Linux path under the Unity config root. Same Saves contents as Windows, so folders copy across directly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up a MENACE Ironman campaign?
Copy the Saves folder elsewhere after each session. The game keeps one live file per campaign, so there is no in-game fallback when it breaks.
Where are MENACE settings stored?
In the same LocalLow tree beside Saves. Copying the parent Menace folder preserves options alongside campaigns.
