Where Does SCP: Secret Laboratory Store Data?
SCP: Secret Laboratory splits saves into a LocalLow folder named Hubert Moszka and config into AppData, with a registry key.
Last updated
SCP: Secret Laboratory is a Unity game, and its folders still use the developer's old name, Hubert Moszka. The save data is in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Hubert Moszka\SCP_ Secret Laboratory. Config is in %APPDATA%\SCP Secret Laboratory and in the registry under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Hubert Moszka\SCPSL.
The naming is inconsistent on purpose: the LocalLow folder has an underscore between SCP and Secret, the AppData folder does not. Steam Cloud covers the save folder. Both locations are worth checking when a settings change does not stick.
