Where Are Nobody Wants to Die Save Files Located?
Nobody Wants to Die saves live in AppData\Local\detnoir\Saved\SaveGames, with key bindings in Config.
Last updated
Nobody Wants to Die autosaves checkpoints into a detnoir folder in local app data, using .sav files per slot. Key bindings sit separately in the Config tree, which is why control complaints and save questions land in different folders.
Rebinding frustrations trace to GameUserSettings.ini in Config. Saves themselves need no editing; the folder just needs backing up before major story branches.
