Where Are Sanitarium Save Files Located?
The Sanitarium save files on PC, split between the install folder and AppData by store version.
Last updated
Max's fractured mindscape saves in two places depending on the storefront. GOG and retail builds keep saves in a SAVES folder inside the install directory, while the Steam DotEmu version uses Roaming AppData with a userdata mirror.
Match the instructions to the version owned and the asylum transfers whole. The two trees never exchange a single memory.
Where Sanitarium stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Sanitarium\SAVES
GOG and retail builds save in the install folder under SAVES. The Steam DotEmu version uses %APPDATA%\DotEmu\Sanitarium\SAVES with a userdata mirror instead.
Frequently asked questions
Which Sanitarium folder is mine?
GOG and retail use the install folder; Steam uses Roaming AppData. Check timestamps in both spots to find the live one.
How do I back up Sanitarium?
Copy the SAVES folder from whichever tree the owned version writes to. Every asylum chapter travels inside it.
