Where Are Yoku's Island Express Save Files Located?
Yoku keeps saves as villa gorilla files in AppData\Roaming\Villa Gorilla\Yoku's Island Express on Windows with config.csv beside them, plus Steam userdata copies.
Last updated
Yoku stores saves and config together in a Villa Gorilla folder under Roaming. The config.csv inside holds video, volume, and platform options in editable text. Steam userdata keeps a parallel copy under the game app ID for cloud sync.
Store variants split the layout. Steam and DRM free builds share the Roaming folder while Microsoft Store nests deeper in its package tree. Knowing which copy is live prevents editing dead files while wondering why nothing changes.
