Where Are The Quarry Save Files Located?
The Quarry keeps Unreal Engine saves in LocalAppData, which is ideal for branching choice experiments.
Last updated
The Quarry stores saves in %LOCALAPPDATA%\TheQuarry\Saved, standard Unreal Engine layout with config beside it. One folder holds every timeline branch, which makes manual branching trivial.
Choice games reward folder discipline. A labeled copy per decision point beats replaying six hours to test one dialogue option. Hackett's Quarry hides plenty worth revisiting with a quick folder swap. Copy the Saved folder with the game closed; restores need a full quit, not just a menu exit, to take hold. Keep one pristine endgame copy too.
Where The Quarry stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\TheQuarry\Saved
Full Unreal Saved tree with progress and config together. Copy per decision point for branch testing. Quit fully before restoring; menu exits do not reload the tree.
Frequently asked questions
How do I test different Quarry choices without replaying?
Copy the Saved folder out after each decision point into labeled folders. To test another branch, quit, swap the labeled copy back in, and relaunch. The game never knows.
Will I lose progress uninstalling The Quarry?
Copy the Saved tree out first. Uninstalls can take it, and cloud coverage is unreliable for this title. A dated zip per playthrough costs nothing and saves everything.
