Where Are Song of Horror Save Files Located?
Song of Horror saves live in AppData\Local\SongOfHorror\Saved\SaveGames, permanently bound to their slots.
Last updated
Song of Horror uses the Unreal Saved layout with one catch that ruins experiments: saves bind to their slot permanently. Renaming slot files to shuffle runs crashes the game instead.
Permissions cause the other classic failure. Without write access to its own folder, the game runs on memory state and resets progress on quit while the dead stay dead only until reboot. Grant write rights and the folder starts working.
Where Song of Horror stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SongOfHorror\Saved\SaveGames
Slot saves plus SlotGlobal and UltimoSlot bookkeeping files. Never rename slot files. The folder needs write permission for your user or nothing persists.
Frequently asked questions
song of horror does not save my progress
Check write permission on the SongOfHorror folder in Local AppData. Without it the game plays from memory and discards everything on quit. Grant write access and saves persist.
can i move a song of horror save to another slot
No. Saves bind to the slot they were created in and renaming crashes the game. Back up whole folders per playthrough instead of shuffling files.
how do i back up song of horror saves
Copy the SaveGames folder with the game closed and Steam Cloud off. Keep SlotGlobal and UltimoSlot with the slots, since the set only loads complete.
