Editor’s View: Why This Matters
I specifically wrote this guide because Homura Hime can be tricky with its save management due to the Unity engine storing files in the LocalLow directory instead of the standard folders. Even if you don’t plan on cheating or modding, please backup your save folder manually right now. Don’t learn this lesson the hard way like I did.”
There is nothing worse than sinking 50 hours into Homura Hime only to worry about a corrupted save file or a cloud sync error. Whether you want to manually backup your progress, transfer your save to another PC, or modify the config file for better performance during intense bullet-hell sections, you first need to find where the data is hidden on your drive.
Below is the exact file path for Homura Hime on Windows and Steam Deck, along with a safer, automated method to manage your backups.

Windows PC Save File Location
For the Steam version of Homura Hime, the save files are usually located in the hidden AppData folder. Because it is a Unity game, it uses the LocalLow directory.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\CrimsonDusk\HomuraHime\How to navigate there quickly:
- Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
- Type
%appdata%and press Enter. - This will open the Roaming folder. Click on AppData in the top address bar to go back one folder level.
- Open the LocalLow folder.
- Navigate to CrimsonDusk > HomuraHime.
Note: If you cannot see the “AppData” folder, you need to enable “Hidden Items” in the View tab of your File Explorer.
Homura Hime Config File Location (Graphics & Settings)
If you need to manually tweak graphics settings (like disabling Motion Blur, V-Sync, or adjusting particle effects for better bullet visibility) that aren’t available in the in-game menu, you will need to edit the configuration file.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\CrimsonDusk\HomuraHime\Settings\How to Edit: Right-click the Settings.json or prefs file and select Open with Notepad. Warning: Be careful not to change lines you don’t understand, as this can crash the game on startup.
Steam Deck / Linux Save Location
If you are playing Homura Hime on the Steam Deck, the Windows file structure is emulated within the Proton compatibility layer.
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1369560/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/CrimsonDusk/HomuraHime/Tip: You will need to know the specific Steam App ID for Homura Hime, which is 1369560.

FAQ
Q: Can I transfer my Homura Hime save to another PC?
Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the HomuraHime folder mentioned above to the exact same location on the new computer.
Q: What happens if I delete the config file?
Usually, Homura Hime will regenerate a default config file upon the next launch, resetting your settings to default. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to .bak instead of deleting it.
Q: Does modifying save files ban me?
In single-player mode, modifying your save file (e.g., adding upgrade materials) will not get you banned. However, ensure you are offline if the game has anti-cheat protections like EAC for leaderboard features.
Conclusion
Locating your Homura Hime save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a glitch, migrating your progress to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for better performance.
