Where Are Misao Save Files Located?

Where Misao Definitive Edition keeps its WOLF RPG saves on PC, and how the freeware original compares.

Last updated

Misao Definitive Edition keeps saves as sav files in a Save folder inside its install tree. The WOLF RPG engine writes that layout rather than any RPG Maker numbered file. Freeware and Steam builds share the convention in their own directories.

Proton prefixes mirror the same tree on Linux with no native port beyond Windows. Copy the Save folder whole with the game closed for backup. Leave the engine files around it untouched since the game rebuilds missing ones with defaults. Event flags and library books share the sav files, so copy the set whole.

Where Misao stores this, by platform

Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Misao Definitive Edition\Save

Install folder Save tree with sav files. Same convention in the freeware folder next to its exe. No RPG Maker slots exist here.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Misao Definitive Edition saves?

Open the install tree and back up the Save folder with its sav files. The Definitive Edition uses the WOLF RPG format rather than RPG Maker slots. The 2011 freeware original keeps the same folder next to its own exe.

Do original Misao and Definitive share saves?

No. The remake runs on a different engine with a different save format in a different folder. Finish each version where you started it. Guides naming Save01 files describe neither build correctly.
