Where Are Onigotchi Save Files Located?
Onigotchi keeps its whole save in a single save.ini file at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Onigotchi, with no separate settings file.
Last updated
Onigotchi is a small Tamagotchi-style idle game from BadColor, released in late September 2026 and made with GameMaker. The entire save is one file.
It sits at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Onigotchi\save.ini. Stats, charms and progress all go into that single INI, and settings are not split out. Steam Cloud is on, but the file is small enough to copy by hand. That also makes it easy to lose. There are no slots to fall back on if the only file goes bad, so keep a copy before big updates or before editing values.
Where Onigotchi stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Onigotchi\save.ini
A single INI file for progress and settings. Keep a copy before editing it by hand, since the game rewrites the whole file when it saves.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Onigotchi save file?
At %LOCALAPPDATA%\Onigotchi\save.ini. There is only one file, not a folder of slots. Paste the path into the Explorer address bar to reach it.
Is there a separate Onigotchi settings file?
No. Options and progress share save.ini. If you delete the file to reset progress, your settings reset with it.
Does Onigotchi use Steam Cloud?
Yes. Steam Cloud is enabled for the game, so the single save file should sync between machines. A local copy is still the simplest backup.
Can I edit the Onigotchi save by hand?
It is a plain text INI, so you can read it. Editing values can break the save, though. Copy the original first and keep it until the edited version loads correctly.
