Where Are Wanderstop Save Files Located?
Wanderstop keeps saves in Windows AppData LocalLow under the developer folder, with Steam Cloud as the safer copy.
Last updated
Wanderstop follows the Unity convention on PC. Saves sit in AppData LocalLow under the studio folder rather than beside the Steam install. That hides them from anyone browsing steamapps, which is why reset wipes feel sudden after cozy long sessions.
Steam Cloud mirrors the same files when enabled, but local copies still rule during play. Back up the whole studio folder before reinstalls or system refreshes. Restore with the game closed so the cloud copy does not overwrite your older files on launch. Verify one load first.
Where Wanderstop stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Ivy Road\Wanderstop
Exact folder name may vary by build, check LocalLow publisher folders if this does not match. Copy the parent folder whole rather than single files to keep slots consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wanderstop use Steam Cloud saves?
Yes when enabled, but keep your own folder copies too. Cloud sync can push a fresh empty session over an older local save if launch order goes wrong after a reinstall.
How do I back up Wanderstop progress?
Close the game, copy the Wanderstop folder above to a dated backup elsewhere, and restore by copying it back with the game closed. Verify one load before deleting the backup.
