Where Are Shift At Midnight Save Files Located?
Shift At Midnight keeps saves and settings together in one LocalLow folder under Kwalee, easy to copy and easy to miss.
Last updated
Shift At Midnight stores its data in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kwalee\ShiftAtMidnight, with saves and settings sharing the one folder. The LocalLow placement follows the Unity convention of a publisher folder and then the game name, and the spacing is exact: no spaces anywhere in ShiftAtMidnight.
One folder means one backup. Copy Kwalee\ShiftAtMidnight with the game closed and night progress, options, and any unlock state travel together. Steam Cloud is listed for app ID 3722330, so it usually covers machine moves, but the folder copy is what you want before a patch or an experimental reinstall.
Where Shift At Midnight stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Kwalee\ShiftAtMidnight
Saves and settings share this folder. Paste the path into the Run dialog (Win+R); AppData is hidden in Explorer by default. Note the LocalLow level, not Local.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3722330/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Kwalee/ShiftAtMidnight
Steam Deck and Linux run the Windows build through Proton, so the same Kwalee tree lives inside the prefix for app ID 3722330.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Shift At Midnight saves?
Close the game and copy the whole Kwalee\ShiftAtMidnight folder from LocalLow. Saves and settings sit in the same place, so the single folder is a complete backup. Keep the copy outside the drive you would reinstall onto.
Can I move Shift At Midnight progress to another PC?
Yes. Copy the folder into the same LocalLow path on the new machine with the game closed. Steam Cloud also covers app 3722330, so let the newer copy win and keep a spare until your progress appears in the menu.
