Where Are The Midnight Walk Save Files Located?
The Midnight Walk stores Unreal saves under AppData Local TheMidnightWalk, with configs beside SaveGames.
Last updated
The Midnight Walk is an Unreal Engine 5 adventure, so saves follow the standard Unreal layout. Progress sits under AppData Local TheMidnightWalk in SaveGames. Graphics and input settings sit beside them under Saved Config Windows. The Steam install folder holds none of this.
Linux runs the Windows build through Proton, which mirrors the same tree inside the compatdata prefix for app 2863640. Back up SaveGames before tweaking Engine.ini for vignette or fog, since bad edits can force save adjacent resets.

Paste into Run to open. Configs in Saved\Config\Windows beside it. Copy the whole Saved folder for migration so settings travel with progress.

Proton mirror of the Windows path above. Exact path may vary by library location, check libraryfolders.vdf on multi library setups. Backslashes in guides map to forward slashes here.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up The Midnight Walk saves?
Close the game, copy the entire TheMidnightWalk Saved folder elsewhere with a date label, and restore by copying it back with the game closed. Single slot copies work but folder copies avoid config mismatches.
Where is The Midnight Walk config file?
Under Saved Config Windows as Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini. Add SystemSettings tweaks at the bottom for vignette, fog, or anti aliasing, then keep a copy before patches overwrite edits.
