Where Are Moonscars Save Files Located?

The Moonscars save folder on PC, with JSON slot files under Black Mermaid in LocalLow.

Last updated

Moonscars numbers its clay warriors as JSON slot files in LocalLow under the Black Mermaid studio name. Three slots, three files, no mystery once you are in the right folder.

Steam and Game Pass saves do not mix, which matters more than usual for a game on both services. Stick to one storefront per playthrough or the slots will silently disagree.

Where Moonscars stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Black Mermaid\Moonscars

Unity LocalLow location under the studio folder. Slots are Slot files with numbers in JSON format. Steam and Game Pass versions keep incompatible saves, so do not swap folders between them.

Frequently asked questions

Which Moonscars file is my character?

The numbered Slot JSON files are the three save slots. Copy the one matching your slot, or the folder for all of them.

Can I move a Steam save to Game Pass?

No, the two builds use incompatible formats. Keep each storefront's playthrough in its own folder and they stay healthy.
