Where Are Ravenswatch Save Files Located?
Ravenswatch saves inside its own install folder, so uninstalling the game deletes your runs with it.
Last updated
Ravenswatch stores progress in a _Save folder inside its own Steam install directory rather than anywhere in the user profile. That placement surprises everyone the first time, since almost nothing else on PC saves this way anymore.
The consequence is blunt: uninstalling or fully verifying the game wipes your heroes. Keep a copy of _Save outside the Steam library, especially before patches. Restoring means dropping it back with the game closed and cloud sync paused.

Frequently asked questions
Does uninstalling Ravenswatch delete saves?
On Windows, yes, since saves live inside the install folder. Copy _Save elsewhere first or the heroes go with the uninstall.
Where are Ravenswatch settings?
Beside the saves in the same _Save tree. A full-folder backup preserves keybinds and options alongside progress.
