Terra Nil saves sit in AppData\LocalLow\Free Lives\Terra Nil, numbered 1 to 3 for each profile.
Last updated
Terra Nil uses the Unity LocalLow convention under the Free Lives studio folder. Inside sit numbered profile folders, 1 through 3, each holding that profile's runs.
Corrupted profiles recover through Steam Cloud. Move the local folder aside, restart Steam, and the cloud copy downloads fresh. If the cloud already synced the corruption, that rescue fails and the local backup you kept is the only way back.
