GRAIN ROT Save Location on Windows

Where to look for GRAIN ROT saves on Windows and how to identify and back up the correct files safely.

QUICK ANSWER

Start with `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Helden\Saved\SaveGames` on Windows. Because the released game does not currently document its save path, create or update a save and inspect `Helden\Saved` by modified time. Copy the folder before changing, moving, or replacing any files so the original remains recoverable.

CHAPTER 01

Overview

The `Helden` folder name comes from the game's internal project name and the usual Unreal Engine save structure. Modified times are the quickest way to check that you found the active files.

CHAPTER 02

Practical Guide

Use these steps during your next run.

Press Win+R and open `%LOCALAPPDATA%`.
Open `Helden\Saved` and sort files by modified time.
Create a fresh in-game save and identify the changed files.
Copy the whole SaveGames folder before testing a restore.
