Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%APPDATA%\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower\ . Your progress is saveData.yc inside; AppData\Roaming is hidden — paste the path into the Run box.

Xbox Series X|S
My games & apps > <Game> > Manage game > Saved data

Xbox saves sync automatically to the cloud with your Microsoft account; there is no user-accessible save file on disk.

PlayStation 5
Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data

Console saves are sealed and can't be copied as raw files. Back them up to PS Plus cloud or a USB drive from this menu.

Cloud saves

On PC, Mina the Hollower's Steam release supports Steam Cloud, so your save folder can sync across machines on the same account. Close the game before restoring a backup so cloud sync doesn't overwrite your restored copy with the older online one on the next launch.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Type %appdata% and press Enter.
  3. Open Yacht Club Games > Mina the Hollower to find saveData.yc.
  4. Copy the whole save folder somewhere safe before editing, modding, or moving PCs.

Save problems & fixes

Cloud save overwrote my newer local save (or vice-versa)

This happens when Steam Cloud syncs on launch before you restore a backup. Fully quit the game, disable Steam Cloud for it, copy your good save into AppData\Roaming\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower, launch once offline to confirm it loads, then re-enable cloud so it uploads the correct copy.

Save is missing, won't load, or shows as corrupted

Verify the game files first, then look in AppData\Roaming\Yacht Club Games\Mina the Hollower for a backup or older copy (many games keep a .bak or a numbered rolling backup next to the live save). Copy that older file over the broken one while the game is closed. Never edit the save with the game running — that is the most common cause of corruption.
