Where Is The Suicide of Rachel Foster Save File?

Rachel Foster keeps its whole story in one OverlookSave.sav file under a Daedalic LocalAppData tree.

Last updated

The Suicide of Rachel Foster stores progress in a single file called OverlookSave.sav. It sits in a Daedalic Entertainment folder under LocalAppData, next to a Config folder and a GameOption.sav for settings.

Single-file saves are wonderfully simple to back up and terribly easy to lose. The whole story hinges on that one file, so copy it before reinstalling or verifying. Steam Cloud mirrors it, but a manual copy does not depend on sync timing.
