Here's exactly where The Blood of Dawnwalker stores your PC saves on Steam and GOG, how to open the folder, and how to back them up before a big choice or New Game+.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Dawnwalker\Saved\SaveGames. Config/settings sit alongside under Dawnwalker\Saved\Config.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\GOGSaveGames
The GOG build writes to a separate GOGSaveGames folder, so Steam and GOG saves do not mix. Copy files between these two folders by hand if you switch storefronts.
Cloud saves
The Steam version syncs through Steam Cloud, so your saves follow your Steam account across machines; GOG saves sync via GOG Galaxy if enabled. If a cloud and local save disagree after offline play, keep the newer copy so a branching choice isn't rolled back.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\SaveGames (or GOGSaveGames on GOG) and press Enter.
- Copy the save files somewhere safe before a major story choice or New Game+.
- Paste them back into the same folder to restore.
Save problems & fixes
My Dawnwalker save won't load or looks corrupt
Close the game fully, then verify files on Steam (right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity) so a clean Steam Cloud copy re-downloads. If one local save is bad, move only that file out and let the cloud restore the last good one.
Saves missing after switching between Steam and GOG
The builds use different folders — Steam under SaveGames, GOG under GOGSaveGames. Copy the save files out of one and into the other by hand; they do not transfer automatically.
The SaveGames folder is empty
AppData\Local is hidden — enable 'Hidden items' in File Explorer, and make sure you launched and saved once so the Dawnwalker\Saved folder exists.
FAQ
Where is The Blood of Dawnwalker save file on PC?
On Steam it's at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Dawnwalker\Saved\SaveGames. Press Win+R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\SaveGames. GOG uses GOGSaveGames in the same Saved folder.
Where are the GOG save files for Dawnwalker?
At %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\GOGSaveGames — a separate folder from the Steam SaveGames one, so the two builds keep independent saves.
How do I back up my Dawnwalker save before a big choice?
Copy the whole SaveGames (or GOGSaveGames) folder out to your Desktop or a USB drive. Because the game branches on choices, a manual copy is the only way to revisit an earlier decision later.
