Where Are The Shapeshifting Detective Save Files Located?

The Shapeshifting Detective save files on PC, kept with options in Steam's userdata tree.

Last updated

Sam Prince's murder investigation lives in Steam's userdata directory under the game's App ID, with save data and options sharing the remote folder. No LocalLow copy exists anywhere on the system.

Config took the registry road beside it, so folder copies move the case but not the settings. Copy the remote directory and every suspect interview transfers.
