Where Are Tangle Tower Save Files Located?
Tangle Tower .sav files beside the install on Windows plus Proton and Cloud paths.
Last updated
Tangle Tower keeps .sav files in a Saves folder beside the game install on Windows rather than AppData. Steam Cloud syncs most installs.
That surprises players who look in LocalLow first. Copy the Saves folder with the game closed. Linux runs through Proton under compatdata 359510.
Where Tangle Tower stores this, by platform
[InstallDir]\Saves\
Saves as .sav beside the game exe (find via Steam > Manage > Browse local files). Without admin rights Windows may redirect writes to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore. Copy with the game closed.
~/Library/Application Support/com.sfbgames.tangletower/
Mac save home varies by store; check this path plus Application Support Tangle Tower entries. Exact folder may vary by version.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/359510/pfx/
Proton path for AppID 359510 holding the Windows install tree with Saves inside. Cloud copies may also sit in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/359510/.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Tangle Tower?
Close the game and copy the Saves folder from beside the install elsewhere. Restoring means putting it back before launch with Cloud paused until Grimoire loads.
Why is there no Tangle Tower AppData folder?
The game stores beside itself by design, not in LocalLow. Check the install dir first, then VirtualStore when running without admin rights.
