Witchfire (Steam 1.0) stores your run progress and unlocks locally on PC. Here's exactly where the SaveGames folder lives, how Steam Cloud can overwrite it, and how to move to a new machine.
Save file locations
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames . This is the primary folder holding your run progress and permanent unlocks — back it up before verifying files or reinstalling.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Witchfire\SaveGames
Some earlier Early-Access (Epic) builds wrote to AppData\LocalLow\Witchfire\SaveGames or AppData\Roaming\Witchfire\SaveGames. If the Local path is empty, check these before assuming the save is lost.
Steam userdata (synced automatically)
On Steam (appid 3156770) Witchfire uses Steam Cloud, so the save mirrors under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\3156770\ and syncs on any machine you log into. A bad cloud sync can overwrite a good local save — disable Steam Cloud for Witchfire before restoring an older backup.
Cloud saves
Witchfire on Steam uses Steam Cloud, so your run progress and unlocks are mirrored to Steam's servers and downloaded on any PC you sign into. The catch: if the cloud copy is older or empty after a crash, it can overwrite your good local save on next launch. Before restoring a backup or moving PCs, set the game to offline / turn off Steam Cloud for Witchfire, copy your %LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames folder, then re-enable it.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter.
- Copy the entire Witchfire folder (under AppData\Local) to a USB drive or cloud storage to back up your progress and unlocks.
- To move to a new PC: install Witchfire, launch once so the folder is created, close the game, then paste your backed-up SaveGames files over the new folder.
FAQ
Where is the Witchfire save file on PC?
The main save is at C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames (type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames into the Run box). Older Epic builds may instead use AppData\LocalLow\Witchfire\SaveGames. If Steam Cloud is on, a copy also lives under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\3156770\.
Can I edit the Witchfire save file?
Yes — the SaveGames folder holds UE .sav files plus JSON config that can be opened in a text editor. Always copy the folder first; a malformed edit can make the game reject the save. Editing is at your own risk and may be affected by Steam Cloud restoring the original.
Does Witchfire have cloud saves?
Yes, the Steam release supports Steam Cloud (appid 3156770). Your progress syncs across PCs automatically. If a run disappears after switching machines or a crash, the cloud copy may have overwritten the local one — check the local %LOCALAPPDATA%\Witchfire\Saved\SaveGames folder and disable cloud before restoring a backup.
