Last updated
Painscreek Killings is Unity with text readable saves. Investigation progress lives as saveData.txt in a SaveData folder under LocalLow. Options sit beside it as saveOptionData.txt, with a registry key mirroring toggles.
In game photos deserve their own mention. Snapshots save into a Resources screenshots folder in the same tree, so evidence boards survive as images even apart from saves. Copy the whole developer folder and progress, options, and photos travel in one move.
