Where Are Zero Escape Save Files Located?
Where the Zero Escape bundle keeps 999 and Virtue's Last Reward saves on PC, and which file to never delete.
Last updated
The Nonary Games bundle keeps both included games in one Documents folder on Windows. Saves for 999 and Virtue's Last Reward sit side by side under the same parent. A launcher ini shares the folder for graphics and startup options.
Steam Cloud mirrors the tree under AppID 477740 for backup. There are no native Mac or Linux ports, so Proton prefixes mirror the Windows path elsewhere. Copy the whole folder with the game closed to move both stories at once. Flowchart unlocks span both games, so keep their folders together always.
Where Zero Escape: The Nonary Games stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Zero Escape The Nonary Games
Shared saves for both bundled games plus the launcher ini. Cloud sync runs under AppID 477740. Never delete the ini during restores.
Frequently asked questions
Which Zero Escape file must I not delete?
Keep the launcher ini file in place during any restore. Both games share the parent folder, and the ini records resolution and startup choices. Deleting it forces a config rebuild while saves survive untouched beside it.
How do I lock a custom Zero Escape resolution?
Edit the launcher ini for resolution options, then set it read only so the game keeps your values. The bundle overwrites loose tweaks on launch otherwise. Saves sit beside the ini and never need the read only flag.
